Interesting though, how the alignment of these three stars mimic the alignment of the three great pyramids. I don't see it: http://show.imagehosting.us/show/799391/0/nouser_799/T1_-1_799391.jpg Or, see for yourself: [ 1 ], [ 2 ] I never once stated that it was an exact or precise alignment only tha...

Well of course it was designed that the pyramids would be the ones mimicking the stars and not the other way around. I thought that the entire 7 star group of the constellation Orion was found in the placement of the pyramids. I remember seeing a special on the subject where they had taken an image ...

Interesting though, how the alignment of these three stars mimic the alignment of the three great pyramids. (Obviously by design) (But who's?)

It is of a portion of a galaxy that is some 70,000 LY across and seen at a distance of approx ?25000 LY? our relative distance to the center.

It is probably that orbital kinetic energy is needed to stabiliz the effects of gravitational forces tending to pull the stars towards the gravitational center of the galaxies with central supermassive black holes. In this case, rotational orbits would be necessary for galgctic stability. For spheri...

There are also three pillars to the left side of the image that appear to be stacked pointing toward the right side of the image. The farthest left image looks like Mary, with halo, holding a baby. The farthest right of the three looks like Mary, with halo, and Joseph, standing together, looking dow...

To the geologists: It is my view that Pumice rocks have generally porus structures and that the holes do not follow any given pattern. The same thing goes for all tectites that I have seen. Those craters of Hyperion, that are not visibly impact craters, appear to radiate out from a central location....

I tend to agree with the idea of this being a captured comet. I am uncertain how to explain the dark material at the bottom of the unusual craters other than from an impact that spread pulverized material over the surface which then settled at the bottoms of the craters. I feel though that the unusu...

An interesting similarity
This was the APOD image fir 09-03-05 "Venus unveiled"
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap050903.html
it has a remarkable resemblance to this
http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpeg/PIA06634.jpg
Saturns moon Dione.
Funny how different things bear similar marks of creation.

I’m not educated in the mathematics of gravity, however; it is my opinion that different things affect the gravity of any given object. Specific gravity would be the attractiveness of all combined matter that any given object possesses (The heavier the elements, the stronger the relative gravity). F...

Most nebula are named for certain features that are seen in visible light). as different filters can change the perspective appearance of objects, you could loose the (obvious???) reasons for their naminng unless you see the visible light image. Perhaps APOD could include the (sometimes striking) vi...

The images from the Voyager 2 probe passed over the North Pole of the moon. If you look at the cassini images of the polar regions you will see the crater paterns you are looking for. I do not believe that there are any Voyager images of the south polar region, at least none that I have been able to...
