Starship Asterisk*

What does the author mean by "well trained" constellation ?

Happy Birthday APOD ,I still enjoy viewing the fantastic photos and letting my mind try to fathom the vastness and beauty of our universe

Man is predisposed to place a boundary upon his surroundings. open your mind,and you will see infinity.

http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap061107.html Stunning photo! The mathematics involved to capture this shot are incredible! even if computer aided a HUMAN had to input the data required :D Make your children learn Mathematics!! I tell my Grandchildren that they could be the first person on mars 8) ...

interesting article there Bmaone. that article states explicitly that we are responsible for global warming. I do not say we are not responsible for it all, but we do contribute to the CURRENT episode. In fact we know that the Earth has warmed and cooled throughout her history. I prefer to think tha...

truly a tragedyabout the main site :cry: Yet if true then CHEERS :P :P :P to the moderators of our little corner I used to use the MSN groups for chat about space but they became a payed service to eliminate porn spammers. no I did not quit because of the porn block but my group fell apart as no one...

If I remember correctly the lack of stars in the very photographs linked, were a major reason conspiracy theorists say NASA never went to the moon. that and the waving flag :lol: I was in Grade schol and even I was told BEFORE we landed on the moon that the flag was going to be held by wires to appe...

not only is it impressive that they have a photo every day but they are archived and available from the very first day to today's

Thank you for the links Harry I read the first one and was intrigued by the third or 4th paragraph about Jupiter undergoing a climate change. kind of lends credence to some beliefs that the Earths current warming trend is mainly solar influenced more then Man made http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/ne...

I read sometime back that the 2 giant storms on Jupiter would be colliding on or about July4th of this year.
Giant Red spot and red spot Jr.
I am looking for more information and any websites about this Stellar event. I only hope we have Hubbles camera back up and running

constant or steady state? steady state runs out of material constant has it's material renewed Big Bang supports steady state by placing all material at once into the universe and then steady state consumes it. Big bang supports constant by creating material AND physics for replacing material (Stars...

tho not an APOD subject just as important to us all

as I considered the analogies offered to explain the rotation theory and point of perspective I grasped what I was missing from the point, It would be simpler stated as, 'If you see a galaxy spinning right you are looking at its North pole,if it is turning left you are looking at it's south pole' Bu...

good question,I have had that thought myself before. Orins answer left me a little more perplexed as it indicates that all galaxies are turning the same direction. this would indicate a universal force declaring right rotation (or left), and a mere perspective of this deciding how we view that rotat...

please click on photo for 12 June to get highest resolution photo. I am stunned by the thousands of galaxies that lie beyond this subject. also note that in the text nothing was mentioned about the HUGE Halo of stars lieing outside of the galactic plane of subject galaxy. very impressive photo and a...

The photo appears over exposed to me. creating a false sheen on the surface. notice on left sides of craters where sun is hitting surface straight on there is no texture only glare. this is the first photo and very tempting in detail (2.5 M per pixel) and I look forward to the final evolution cycle ...

just thought I would start a post about the subject. This Photo says a lot to me,including the dreams of Man to reach and understand the Stars,and Universe we live in. Grounded on Earth by the very Physical forces which exist throughout the Universe we nonetheless reach as far as we can using the po...

notice all of the craters are filled with dust and most overlay the flow pattern. also there are several double craters. the large crater center shows erosion but also an fresher impact on the outflow channel. The crater at top center appears to have been filled in sedimented and been eroded out aga...

as this photo in APOD shows Titan, the thing that struck me was how clear the right edge of the moon is, yet the left edge is blurred across its entirety. is this a composite image,OR (is the right edge facing the Sun and thus more accented ?)

Hello moderators ; I hope it is OK to drop this link to a 'sister' site here. I find it an interesting look at Mars. This is the stark reality and after many Years of these photos, I find it very hard to believe that life existed there at all. If Mars formed at same time Earth did, then the period o...

NRbrosch wrote Essentially, we see a sphere, or at least things that are very distant from us in all directions. The limit is that of "the visible Universe", which is the location where the expansion velocity equals the speed of light. Light signals from things further away have not had ti...

interesting theory I have to share here. The lifetime of light is 16 Billion years. as this is how far we can see. Some profess that we are looking at the beginning of All there is. The Big Bang, or as near to it as technologically possible at this time. perhaps it is opposite, we are seeing the end...

as well as the unseen force called repulsion,which is spreading the universe out their is also the unseen force called attraction, which is pulling parts of it together. an example would be the clusters of galaxies spread throughout the universe. these are groupings of galaxies which have a common '...
