Starship Asterisk*

It had been bothering me about that. So its the fact that its so small is why Hubble cant photograph it that well. Why dont someone build something that can take pictures of it? That would probably be a lot of use to be able to snap clear pics of NEO's..

If Hubble takes pictures of objects thousands of light years away, Why cant hubble take a snap shot of the outmost planets? is it because there moving?

Measurements of the afterglow of the big bang suggest mysterious dark matter was about six times more abundant than ordinary matter in the early universe. http://space.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn11825&feedId=online-news_rss20 Is the Big bang theory where everything was at one point. and th...

[quote="orin stepanek"]How about this? http://imgsrc.hubblesite.org/hu/db/2007/06/videos/b/formats/high_quicktime.mov :) Orin[/quote] Thats almost it. Its the closest yet. The one I am looking for ends up at a object like this, (not this one but its just as close). http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa....

aren't you already discussing it here ? Yes but they were saying that the things in the night sky do not change.. And the caption of the pic of the day would indicate that things have changed. Thats why I asked. And the question was not a general discussion like the first post, But was directed at ...

houses several of the most massive stars known and has also changed its appearance
Does this mean that they have other images showing the changes? If so I want to see them..

I just want to understand this, A light year is the distance light travels in a year, So to say 300 million light years away, means 300 million years away, at the speed of light! Now for my real question how do they know that its that far away? And exactly how many miles is a light year?

I am fimilliar with O'ryan, and the dippers, I can locate them but I want to be able to locate the lyrid meter shower. Is there a large map of the night sky that would name lyra and orian?

Please post link.

Kinda like the beginning but in reverse. From the earth looking out..

Its just a guess, Untill we have something that can actually withstand the suns energy, Its all just a estimated guess. Kinda like the earths core... I think we need to concentrate on more on issues like Global Warming, and the trash along the highways.. Step # 1, Think, Step # 2, React, Step # 3, R...

[quote="makc"]@craterchain, mmm what? I think original post question is much more like "i want to understand BBT" than like "i want to know how true is BBT". and you?[/quote] No My original question was, I am having a hard time grasping the fact that scientists think th...

I am almost certin that it was on this site, (perhaps it was a link from here to another site)?? It did start in oryan, and then zoom to something that was very very very very far away.. It was very cool.. If you know of something simmilar please post a link.. So I can check it, (hubble site is to c...

So basicly scientists do not know for a fact that the universe is expanding?
I was kinda hoping that the "pillars" would be slightly different in a picture from when the hubble first saw them to how they are today..

If They cant prove it through change, then what leads them to assume?

I remember looking at a video on The pic of the day site, It started out with visable stars in the night sky, then it was a movie like the camera was zooming out, very very very far out it came to a object in the nights sky,, (I cant remember what its called, but it was of something that you would f...

I would have to argue the point "light speed is the actual speed of light in whatever units you choose (feet per hour, m/s , inches / decade) and it is always the same for every observer in vacuo." The problem with this statement is the measurments used are all earth based. Remember think ...

I guess I was looking for a picture of say those cool space columns taken by I think Hubble, kind of a before and after.

( I have seen the videos of the star wobble, and understand the basics of the universe, Umm, basicly... )..

The earth is not moving? and has not moved? Umm we would be at the center of the big bang then?? Now I am totally confused, To think of the universe as an expanding balloon, That is how I see the universe, except with a big explosion causing it to expand, Not like a nuke but more like a sparkler. So...

Sorry for filling up the boards with my theorys.. But I have always wanted to find a place to talk back... And this seems like the perfect place. If someone knows a better place please reply to this, and tell me to go to ...... LOL,, As far as multi dimensions in theory. I heard somewhere that there...

I am having a hard time grasping the concept of using telescopes to look back to the big bang. If everything started from one point in exsistance, how far has the earth traveled from this point of origin, and how long did it take? Since there has to be billions (wild guess) of years of movement of t...

I was wondering how much the universe has changed since we started taking photos of it? Are there any old pics of something in the night sky, and then a new pic of the same area? Or would they look the exact same?
