Starship Asterisk*

Bottom line, simply stated, we are going to need to be able to go so fast to get to another galaxy in a short span of time that "light speed" would be ludicrously slow. 17 times the speed of light would be in the same category of slow. Now 17,000,000 times the speed of light would be a goo...

Guess I should have kept my high res monitor, but I see no obvious CS (concise and systematic) types of crater chains. some cohesive splatter patterns possibly.

There are a few CS types of crater chains on Mercury though that I know of.

Here is the image being talked about, , , guess RJN forgot about the courtesy of posting the link in the first post to a new thread. :wink: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap080116.html Is it just me? It seems that there are a substantial number of craters shown in the images that have a raised &qu...

Possibly the edge of the window on the International Space Station.

Yes, so I noticed, , , lol.

Do any readers have insight about precisely why hurricanes and spiral galaxies take on (approximately) log spiral shapes in particular?

Yes, simply stated, resistance.

Are you sure they are all, "people"?

As an educator, that has to chap your ass I would imagine?

Simply stated, yes.

uhmmm why this of course, , ,

The Milky Way at 5000 Meters (APOD 04 Jan 2008)

FOCLMFAO

that video sounded like Linda Howe of earthfiles.com hmmmmm

The first one that is, , , interesting stuff

uhhhh huhhhh

hmmmm, yah think?

Actually there is a 2008 daily calendar featuring APOD images. Since it is a commercial product that costs real money, we can't advertise it on a public web site, but perhaps those interested enough can find it (a challenge?). - RJN Now why can't you just post the link? That is NOT advirtising on a...

Not sure what you all are smoking, but it is very apparent that you've a real problem with Short Term Memory Loss. Reminds me about where does petroleum come from? The stupid teachers are still teaching that it comes from decayed mater in college. No wonder you all are so far back in the learning cu...

Just be thankful that they are very small crater chains THX.

Keep yer ass covered and make it home safe.

There is a God, I know that for sure, been there and I too knew there were no athiests in fox holes. More dirt please.

We don't kid ourselves Noel, but have been kicked in the teeth and falsely accused of manipulation far too many times to ever publish any "doctored" images we may have "enhanced" to show our view point. Thus FieryIce, and I, are a bit "touchy" about photo manipulations ...

It had a guidence system?

Simply stated, no.

Also, it is possible for multiple grativational and perhaps atmospheric interactions over millions of years to gradually slow an object down into orbit. uh huh, , , , "multiple grativational and perhaps atmospheric interactions" :wink: This is a combination of measurement error and tidal ...

Yes, wouldn't you love to brush away the sands and see what else is there?

Nope, it's not my ISP tacked on to that one, ,

ahhh yes, the wikipee, and this does not make a whole lot of sense, The interaction cross-section of nuclei passing through matter increases with decreasing kinetic energy. Re-read what it says again, carefuly this time. Note the graphs, , , , Damndest thing that wikkipee, but not the truth, any oth...

This is kind of like watching a verble ping pong match, only with typing.
