Starship Asterisk*

How nice; we get a Blue harvest moon this month! Now I think that
is pretty neat! My opinion!

Another beautiful galaxy!

Ring makes the Galaxy look special! Doggy playing tug of war!

Galaxy cluster 370 and Beyond! We are getting close to seeing
the Big Bang Happen!

Beautiful Comet Nishimura! Kitty looks a little Smug!

Nice photo of eclipse! Kitty peeking!

I probably wake up early enough; but !'m not ambitious enough to
go looking! McNaught is very Beautiful!

M17 also known as the Omega or Swan Nebula; a very nice photo!
Kind of likes like a saint is looking over the nebula! Upper left part of
photo!

It is amazing what these little galaxies contain; like the Tarantula
nebula!

Yeah, and in another sense, literally everything is related - rocks, stars, humans, microbes, water, plasma, etc. - since we're all made out of the same fundamental particles adhering to the same fundamental forces. ...Well, perhaps black holes are in a class by themselves. Black holes are the land...

It is amazing what Scientists learn about the universe! I don't
qualify; but I like to read about it! If we don't kill ourselves
first; man could have a forever home in the universe with all the
wonderful goodies that are there! What a dreamer I am!

No sweat, Orin. I remember that in his Cosmos TV show (from back in the eighties?), Carl Sagan said that humans and oak trees are closely related! I bet irises and orchids are a bit more closely related than that! :D Ann Go back far enough, and we're all related. Every living thing on Earth descend...

I don't need to grow them... they grow wild here, in abundance in late spring! Certainly one of my favorite wildflowers (but they aren't orchids). So from here in Colorado, here's what I see looking up, and then looking down. _ two-irises.jpg Ah Chris; To me they are like orchids and I know they ar...

Blue moon in Syracuse Italy behind castle and lighthouse Strawberrt moon over Devils Saddle! Kitty hovering!

I finally got your joke but I had to visit your Flowers Around the House thread to get it. You funny Orin! :mrgreen: Me slow! :mrgreen: Hi; I really do grow Iris; And I love the Iris Nebula! To me The Iris is an orchid; as it is a very delicate flower! I'll try to get a photo of it when it is in bl...

Bubble nebula always amaze me! Another kitty today!

fragb73p_hst_960.jpg Comets are fascinating snowballs! I wonder how much of Earths ocean came from comets? :shock: If the Big Bang theory is correct, everything came from a single point. So wouldn’t everything have started together? Then during the expansion a P-R effect would have affected the dis...

268_lorand_fenyes_iris_ngc7023_1024.jpg I grow Iris flowers and I love them! I even have a pretty blue one like the nebula! :D I finally got your joke but I had to visit your Flowers Around the House thread to get it. You funny Orin! :mrgreen: Me slow! :mrgreen: Hi; I really do grow Iris; And I lov...

Comets are fascinating snowballs! I wonder how much of Earths
ocean came from comets? Kitty enjoying a sun bath!

I grow Iris flowers and I love them! I even have a pretty blue one
like the nebula!

M13-totale-en-cours-crop8_1024.jpg Oh me; Whenever I see a globular cluster; I have to wonder how these stars can remain so near each other! I would expect them to drift apart or bump into each other! :evil: They don't bump into each other because they are immensely far apart compared with their di...

Oh me; Whenever I see a globular cluster; I have to wonder how
these stars can remain so near each other! I would expect them to
drift apart or bump into each other!

Wow! four super moons within 3 months and one is a blue moon on
top of all that! Very nice; and how rare is that?

Such beauty in this nebula! Kind of reminds me of somebody holding
someone dear to them!

You know it's not a real nebula, right?

Yeah; a cloud of gas!
