Starship Asterisk*

The image, the colors, just awesome beautiful.
It's now my desktop, thanks neufer


I always wanted to be somebody, now i realize i should have been more specific

No doubt Beyond, Thou beslubbering beef-witted barnacle is just too darned funny. Still the same, as for the slang word Dork and what it purports to describe, (size included) certainly did fit the bill for a number of individuals I've used it to describe. At least it did back then many, many moons a...

Thanks for the reply and the link also...... the guy who tries to paste a bowl of coleslaw back together as one whole cabbage. Among other things! So pops is MIT class of 39, wow. On another note along somewhat similar lines i can remember both calling people; and being called myself, a DORK years a...

As in a ............ Dete - De - Dee ,,, Hmmm ok lol.
I wonder if we shall get a response from him to confirm

That's really neat neufer I wish one of my children were more interested in this type of stuff. The story doesn't say how he and his sister have access to the images though, can you find these online do you think or do you believe they have access to the images only because they have a mutual friend...

There are pictures on this site that purport to be to be “ I believe “ jets of matter emanating from the poles of black holes that are feeding / eating more than they handle.
Where is the event horizon if this is happening, not on the poles?

Wait a second, wouldn't the object be viable eventually like possibly be seen where it used to be a second before / 186,000 miles from where it would presently be

Thanks all and especially thank you Chris for answering my question in the manner that you have as i actually understand what you stated and i didn't even have to read it a number of times. Maybe i'm actually getting some where with this stuff in my old age

I wish i didn't have to read what the lot of you are saying here five, six or seven times in hopes of understanding what your saying, oh well lets see if I got some of this right kind-a-sort-a. Ok two bodies moving apart (relative to each other ) could be traveling faster than C etc, etc I don’t hav...

That whole Brandenburg gate thing ?????? Neufer you stated no the object could not be seen if it were traveling above C. No one is going to rebut this ? Well It doesn't seem right but I’ll take it as fact then. As for all the rest of the banter on this thread ( which amounts to yet another one of th...

( Traveling towards us ) What would an object with mass look like when viewed from earth if it were moving towards us at just under C , Then also the same question with object moving at above C velocities. Would either even be visible to us? After all you just never know when some random NCC1701 mig...

@ wonderboy Some good reading material can be had on what i believe your talking here on the thread Dark Flow, a thread you yourself have added comments to. I've read it a number of times and then some more just trying to get myself to understand it. In fact I think I'm going to read it again myself...

In any case, planets are usually strongly bound to their parent stars. Where the stars go, they go as well. There is no mechanism that would result in stars losing their planets or protoplanetary discs simply because they are flung out of a nebula by some perturbation. Focusing in on the word usuall...

LUDICROUS

Ludicrous speed ! What's the matter Colonel Sanders, chicken

This may very well be the same question that was asked some years ago but to my knowledge no definitive answer was ever given. Where there are a number of black holes (Four, five or more) in very close proximity to each other what would this be called.
A group of holes?
A cluster of holes?

It is an interesting symbol; I suppose, so for the heck of it I just copied and pasted the thing and emailed it to the Kavili Foundation asking them what it’s supposed to be, If they even bother to reply to the question I’ll post their response.

As goes the idea of all black holes possibly being the gateway’s / beginning point’s of another universe whereas material inside it may be being ejected much like what we would call the big bang that happened in our own universe. This was just one of the many, many possibilities put forth on the lat...

Beyond / 8-) very 8-) Beyonderland ?????? BMAONE23 / Wow :idea: stephen63 / 3-D electric sheep / I'm thinking maybe yes Chris Peterson / Risa, I like that I dropped by astronomy picture of the day wondering if there were any replies to my post and I nearly fell out of my chair from laughing so hard,...

Printing spacecraft in orbit, spare parts for them or a lunar base with these printers and having robots do the assembling may be a tad into the future but this technology has me very excited, very excited indeed. NASA Turns to 3D Printing for Self-Building Spacecraft ... 3D printers may soon be use...

There are a good many who believe its another universe next to ours playing tug of war with ours then another good many whom believe its nothing of the sort. Then also still others that believe that there isn’t any dark flow at all and still more that offer up pros and cons for it for a whole host o...

With my 10” reflector the smaller the sliver of the moon is the better, I can see the mountains, valleys and the craters crystal clearly. Looking at the full moon is not even close to as cool to look at and if you do so for more than a few minutes you will get a headache. Even with a moon filter not...

A guy is jogging down the beach one day and suddenly he comes across what looks to be a Genie bottle that has just washed up on the sea-shore so he picks it up and just like in the movies he rubs on the bottle to get the Genie to come out and right then a Genie does pop out and though the guy can’t ...

Indeed stephen63, the lenses in Galileo Galilei's telescope were so small it is almost unimaginable that he could see anything yet he did. It surly must have taken him hundreds and hundreds of hours of observation, talk about devotion to his work wow.

I’ve wondered about this exact thing for awhile now, I’ve got a 10 inch mead reflector that I take out to the desert now and then “ Such as boating trips out to Lake Mead and etc “ But everything is, well stars are just a bunch of light flying at you, nothing to focus on there. The planets are gener...

How special BMAONE23, most especially because you couldn’t have, the earth is flat everyone knows that.
Ok fine then, hit a guy when he is down and hurl salt on to his wounds I see how it is.
