Starship Asterisk*

You ever see a photo and you just love it? You don't know why and can't explain it? Well this apod does it to me.

it just fills me with a sense of wonder at how vast things actually are. I also love the detail on the dust lanes of the galaxy. simply amazing

nah i always posted as a comment on the subject. not just to up the ranks because that would be annoying. it may be good to have the kudos for the post count but i just like the banter and chat. it makes my brain work.

Hey Neufer

initially I left because all my posts randomly got deleted and I ended up a science officer again anyway. Thought I'd come back and vent my thoughts on the world. Plus I missed it really.

obviously once the light reached the telescope after the subsequent 8 to 8 and a half minute wait.

I have literally thousands of thoughts on space and its inner workings everyday. These range from "oooh what a lovely apod" to the whys, wheres and whats of space. This is my first one for you guys to ponder. it has been theorised that wormholes could exist in space. if such a wormhole was...

My theory on blackholes (and I mean theory in its most loose of forms) is that everything returns to them. Every Galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its centre. As it grows the gravitational pull on everything surrounding it becomes stronger until everything surrounding the black hole returns to...

Ah... You have a broken finger, said the Doctor!!! ( BADOOM tish)

Owzat!?

I've never understood spam! How did it get named after a canned processed meat? It's a stumper. I have a lot of catching up to do.

If i could get away with it, I would just live rough, use my fishing rod and hunt animals to survive. By get away with it i mean the following. I can imagine waking up in the morning in a crudely built home made purely from green materials, eating a chunk of venison for breakfast and putting my suit...

Aw come on guys, play the game! haha.

Its definetley an APOD, i never clicked through, its in the full list of original APODs so no cheating on my part. Your right though, the image does contain a belt of venus, but it also contains a sunset and sunrise. SOMEONE must get it now!


Paul

This is the best picture I could find of a possible sunset, or sunrise.

What about friction and drag? Would friction not cause the track to heat up at these speeds (depending on the size of the track (but I'm thinking that if the trains are spaced equally then the friction would be constant enough to heat the track up sufficiently enough to make it fundamentally useless...

This isn't hard to understand people. I hope moe death posted his reply at about the same time you posted yours Alter-ego.

If not, he clearly never read your post above his, I shall now try and answer this as best I can in the other topic


Thank you


Paul.

My computer jammed and what-not so this was meant to say:


NGC 1275, is my choice because it looks like its reaching out to touch you.

I like it quite a lot actually.

i WAS THINKING THIS THE OTHER DAY, he is clearly taking the mick, come on now The Code! Spill it!!!!!


Sorry about the capitals, I wrote it THEN realised and couldnt be bothered editing it haha.

Im trying to lower my carbon footprint, I've put my car off road and cycle my bike about 20 miles a day. I swear my legs have gotten a few inches thicker. Need new trousers. In a bit of policy making genius, I was thinking that the government should make some kind of policy that benefits cyclists by...

So far BMAONE23 is closest, but not for reasons which you may think.


Paul.

Everyone struggling? I'll give a clue....


The difference between this photo and my other ones is "night and day"


Paul.

The speed of light is constant, I know this and I am not arguing otherwise. Whether it is inches, miles, metres or whatever aliens measure distance in, it will be the same speed. What I'm saying is, that if me and some alien dude were sitting at the starting line of a race to a distant planet. I mig...

Kinda looks like he's running. Just out of shot is another vorwerp that looks like miss piggy!

Paul.

Just why is he holding a light bulb!? Is it because the air is so electrically charged that the lighbulb glows without any mains supply? If it is, its really cool.

Still though, The lines must have been an amazing sight if it was only a 2 minute long exposure.
