Starship Asterisk*

Those grooves remind me of something I saw underwater in the Cayman islands.
The grooves were formed by rocks being pushed back and forth by the waves.
I wonder if there is enough gravity from Mars to move rocks on the moons surface.

Does anyone know if a script has been written to set the background for Linux desktops? In particular I am interested in KDE/SuSE. This may not be exactly what you are used to. I cycle my background every hour and a lot of the images I use are from APOD. This script does not come with a GUI or drag...

This APOD image has certainly led me on an interesting tour of the universe. Harry, thanks for the feedback. Google turns up some really interesting information with the keywords "rotation relativistic speed" adding "black hole" gets closer to the subject at hand. I see that some...

I'm trying to hold back from posting links. Bad habit Links a bad habit? Links are fine with me. I even read a few that you posted. I just finished probing Google with the key words 'black hold fluid' and I see that my memory has failed me again. Some scientists believe that the material of a black...

Hello DanEspen Hi. A Black Hole is an ultra dense plasma matter object. As I said, I'm not a physicist. I used the term 'rigid'. Plasma sort implies something like a gas, but the 'stuff' in a black hole is under enormous pressure. Surely whatever form that matter takes, it's locked together in the ...

I've seen this news item, but I'm not sure I understand this efficiency. Are they trying to say that there is just as much matter/energy coming out as is falling in? If so, that seems to contradict the idea that nothing can escape a black hole. (Yes, I'm not a physicist.) I've read about black hole ...
