Starship Asterisk*

I believe that the bright star is part of the Milky Way Galaxy. It really is an Awesome photo.

Why would slower forming systems form binary systems???

Hi Dave! I'm more apt to believe in multiple bangs. I believe that the universe goes on forever. that There are parts that are so far out that we will never be able to perceive them. I believe that the universe is like a gigantic pin wheel like the atom the solar system the galaxies. Seems to run a ...

If tracking instruments were planted on Earth aproaching asteroids; wouldn't that make them easier to track than observing them by telescope??? Or might it be too expensive??

Thank you! That is what I suspected; but I wasn't sure. You explained it well enough. In other words the gasses left over when other stars die can condense in new stars. If a star is pure; [first generation] wouldn't it tend to have a longer life span???
Orin

I may be a little ignorant; but what is a second generation star?
Orin

I saw the pillars in the bottom right corner also; but they reminded me more of the horses head nebula. I liked your drawing though.
Orin

I believe the gas is gone in that area. Kind of looks like a butterfly with gossamer wings.
Orin

To me; the inner parts of the nebula look like explosions. The outer concentric rings remind me of shock waves. much like the ripples when you drop a stone into water.
Orin

Your probably right; still, spinning at 30 revolutions per second the centrifugal force must be terrific.
Orin

Somewhere I read that Jupiter was a Brown Dwarf. Does this mean that it is a failed star?
It is also larger than the other eight planets put together
Orin

Rotating at 30 times per second; would that tend to shed matter from the surface of the neutron star?
Orin

Given the fact that such an explosion is so vast; that nearby stars and their systems must be greatly affected. What kind of an affect would this have on life forms on nearby systems?
Orin

Venus orbit and rotation are synchronized so that the same face always faces Earth when the two planets are in close approach. I looked it up.
Orin

The icy asteroids might suggest an abundance of water in the solar system. Could the tiger stripes suggest liquid might be present under the frozen surface?
Orin

So; Makc! How does time keep the stars apart???
Orin

If the stars are all moving together along the same direction. would this tend to keep them apart? Kind of like the shot out of a shotgun? After all; we are moving through space.
Orin

What keeps the stars apart? Are they by any chance in orbit around the clusters core? Seems at though they wouled converge in toward the cores center.
Orin

I hope this doesn't stray from the subject too much. This may not be as profound or as deep; but if we can see 13 billion light years in front of us and 13 billion years in back of us; doesn't that put the visible universe as 26 billion years? Also we probably aren't in the center; so maybe we can o...

If you were in a car going 60 miles an hour; and compared that to the speed of light. That would make Earth 8 1/2 miles back. How far can you drive in over four years non stop? So my wayward planet would be lost is space for a long time. Still I believe in the possibility.
Orin

Do you suppose the rate of spin of the black hole may have something to do with the number of arms a galaxy has??
Orin

I can see that it could be captured by another star.
Orin

I was thinking about stars that may be few light years apart. There must be planets out there that may be so far out that they could be caught in orbit around two stars. The large planet in the three star system seems to be more logical for a three star orbit.
Orin

do you suppose there are objects; (asteroids); in orbit around two stars??? I don't know much about astronomy but is seems possible.
Orin

This would make a great background picture.
