Re: APOD: SN Refsdal: The First Predicted... (2015 Dec 21)
...I would have expected the image to arrive first to be the center of the three, then the later ones to be the ones on the fringes, not the other way around. Good point, Craig. Perhaps this implies the latest image was bent at least twice. But I would imagine the images would be somewhat distorted...

The image (galaxy) immediately north/east of the lower circle matches the image (galaxy) from the upper circle!!! What is going on? It is not (according to me) what's inside the lower circle what corresponds to the upper circle. Even the orientation is the same.

Could it be that the line(s) of dust be planets that were around the star blown to dust? Or let me put it another way: what would happen to "our" planets if tomorrow the sun becomes supernova?

M84 seems to have a cone shaped "thing" right above the nucleus. Any idea any one?

Has any one ever wonder about this fellow having two nucleus??? If you look closely (or perhaps not so closely) one can see two bright nucleus: one stronger (at the right) than the other.

Re: APOD: Welcome to a Comet (2014 Nov 14)
What is that ROD like thing at the 5 o'clock position at the bottom of the image? I believe that was earlier identified (in another discussion) as part of the CONSERT instrument, a microwave antenna. Looks embedded in he rock !? Look at the shadow how it comes out of the tip of it. If you are right...

Next time you are on an airplane, if the sun is above the plane; let's say from 10 am to 2 pm position, you can look down at where the shadow of the plane would be and you'll see the same phenomenon reflected on the ground, of course the shape of the person is replaced by the shape of the plane.

Re: APOD: Spiral Galaxy NGC 6744 (2014 Aug 08)
could someone tell me what are the black spots near some of the stars? For example near the two yellow stars "east" of NGC6744. And there are more somewhere else. Thanks
