Starship Asterisk*

Crystal clear night -no fog....it wasn't a hazy glow or anything ...but ah well- believe or dont- I know what I saw .....

I wish I was....but I wouldn't post this if I knew for a fact it was some sort of optical illusion- either a bird getting lit from ground lights. What really stood out was what the craft seemed to be riding on- Like a cushion of some orange/red distortion wave - that rippled from the front of the cr...

Hi all..i would like to describe to you all something quite amazing I saw on Wednesday morning at 3:30 am.(20/05/2015) Perhaps some of you folks could help me make sense of it.

What would the purpose of this be, exactly? What scientific value would come of this that couldn't be achieved some other way? Well that's the purpose of it- its never been done like this so the benefits are unknown till we attempt it- we can only gain knowledge from attempting such endeavours- we ...

to above poster - light and even infra red light takes time to travel to us - so what they looking at happened millions of years ago so they assume its from the big bang and universe expanding. simplly put - takes light 8 mins to travel from the sun to earth - so when you see that sun in the sky you...

Except for the comet that will sooner or later hit us - and we are far enough away from other suns so supernova aint an issue - though we might get a rogue black hole come our way and wouldnt even know its there till its to late :) theres lots of scary things out their that we just cannot prepare fo...

I can see where they removed the foreground stars but any idea about the other dark spots? like huge areas where theres no light whatsoever - any ideas why?
