Starship Asterisk*

Isn't it claimed that black holes are infinitesmially small points? If so how can they actually merge being zero radius? Maybe a merge just means they fall within their event horizons.

It looks to me like it could also be rocks crumbling and rolling down the side disturbing lighter colored dust on the surface. Since it is seasonal, perhaps the temperature change causes the rock to expand and contract which makes them crumble. Just a thought. I thought of crumbling darker sediment...

And if there's not enough fuel to crash, how about a highly elliptical one for some dramatic close-ups? Would also be wonderful to produce some 3-d stereo images. Interesting pit to the left. I wonder what it looks like on the surface in the middle of the frost. Might it be smooth ice, powdered, or ...

Who spilled the paint?

Heeeerrrss Sauron!

Is it possible to see those sapphire jewels in 3-d by imaging in opposite seasons? That would be amazing. Sometimes when I'm looking through an eyepiece it almost seems to have depth, so even he slightest hint of it would be something.

Leading or trailing arms? That seems so counterintuitive... But what does a brain know. Maybe there's inner and outer shells of matter that have significantly different angular momentums, causing this effect, possibly from previous galactic mergers. Keep in mind that the spiral structure is largely...

A little bit scary what a quasar could do to a whole galaxy

Looks like the black hole in the movie Interstellar

I like the crimson tree as much as the constellation, always nice to blend the near and far to ground you and extend what may be out there

Ionic umbrella

Beautiful image, but I find the upper left corner really interesting, with a feeling of depth given the layers of clouds almost appearing like mountainscapes.

Anyone recognize where that came from?

Ok make me quote myself, Star Trek fans? It's Spock related...
