Starship Asterisk*

Thanks THX1138, keep your head down and away from those crater chains. Make it home safe.

Thickening of the atmosphere is probably the best explanation.

So you are saying that in this train of particles the caboose is catching up with the engine. That does not add up.

Why didn’t Pioneer 10 in 1973 or Pioneer 11 in 1974 discover the rings?

Because you were told "Jupiter's ring was discovered by Voyager 1", how did the science team of the Voyager 1 know to look for a ring system? It just does not add up.

Yes it is Noel and no it is not "pretty clear we're in the Milky Way".

It is impossible to take a straight down picture and have the centre blacked out.

Asstricks GOD, the fact remains your timeline is off.

Perfection is a Direction and your going the wrong way.

What makes you think we are a part of the Milky Way Galaxy when it is at a strange angle in the sky?

Interesting wording for this APOD. Jupiter's Rings Revealed (APOD 06 Jan 2008) It is well known that an object/meteoroid in motion will penetrate a surface like a bullet penetrates wood but vaporize from penetrating an object unlikely. Brake up and fragment from penetrating a harder surface or rebou...

Looks like the sand has already been brushed aside to show off the patio slabs.
Some nice razorbacks in that image too.

Fascinating isn't it.
Your attitude is showing.

I have come across an interesting concept over the past several years regarding those ones with an aggressive condescending attitude that has to do with examining kneecaps or not. But then again, that is a different science than astronomy, the study of Mars, Europa, our Moon, crater chains, no impac...

I stick to the rule of thumb never to manipulate the images and repost it publicly but to use the actual image as it was issued so not to be accused of manipulation.

Close in size to Phobos, Deimos is smaller.

on my way to teach at kids astronomy class Are those children Bar or Bat Mitzvah age? Thanks for the resize, now work on file size to improve the load time of the thread, or not. So - what are my chances of getting to APOD? Your guess is as good as anyone elses. I have noticed they have an agenda i...

Let me have a guess, uhmmm, more excited charged particles, hotter charged particles, different kinds of particles display a different colour, density of particles....

BMAone23, I think it is a browser setting that loads a full image then resizes it smaller or click on it for a larger size.

But my comment still stands:

Hi Amirber, a suggestion, please scale down the images for viewing in the forum but the sun halos full of colour are very fasinating.

You're stretching the timeline way too long. Guess again.

the temperature of the mars which is an average of -73F to 40F. Thoughts? That temperature is already in the range for certain lifeforms. How on earth are we going to bring all humans in earth to colonize mars? Not going to happen. Other things happen first. What about our moon in the future? The m...

Rays from an Unexpected Aurora, Jan 1/08 captured from North Dakota Damned, then here on Vancouver Island we should see these amazing lights. People are just going to have to turn off their lights at night and turn off the street lights for a few hours every night so humanity can view these amazing...

11 what?

that explains why airplanes are crashing sometimes

No makc that's the result of some level of incompetency.

What about air braking ? What about a gravitational encounter that places it in the the right situation to be captured in a high velocity retrograde orbit on their next encounter? ...acquiring temporary moons is inevitable - it has already happened at least twice. Highly unlikely...and Speculation ...

Silica, silicon dioxide, forms with the exposure of silicon to oxygen and heat.

Exactly what the Bikinian people would say also, bystander.

It is also a component of silicones, a class-name for various synthetic plastic substances made of silicon, oxygen, carbon and hydrogen

Silicon

What are the chances that Mars may capture WD5 as a moon? In bed with and intimately copulating with "impossible". I concur. Then everyone should be asking how did Phobos obtain a very fast retrograde circular degrading orbit? Isoef Shmuelovich Shklovskii had a mathematically calculated t...
