hi Wolf, What you say makes sense to me also but how much do we really know about the BH beast???
I wonder if there are any indications anywhere in the universe of matter being ejected from a black hole as opposed to "eaten"???

Re: APOD 26th June 2008 - Not a Comet
Now food for thought. Todays nebula looks like a gas giant. However the ring nebula in Lyra hardly resembles a planet. If the same puff of gas is responsible for its origin, why do we see todays nebula as a disk, while the ring nebula is definitively ring shaped? Maybe Qev's observation is a clue. ...

If you believe there is a God and you believe what the Bible teaches… then not only did the event make a sound but it was also heard. What in the world?

Re: APOD 26th June 2008 - Not a Comet
Planetary Nebula is kind of a misnomer and has nothing to do with planets. Hi bystander, Just to be clear... I was musing about how the exploding "sun-like" star would have engulfed any orbiting planets, possibly rearranging their molecules in the process... but thanks for the lesson :) ,...

Very nice image for commemorating solstice with the 2400 year old remains in the foreground... wish it were a larger format though to better fit a large monitor.
Today is also the longest day... since earth rotation is slowing down.

Moon Grinning like a Cat (APOD 11 Apr 2008)
There are those pesky clouds again
Quite a picture considering the faint timing and fearless clouds.
Fleeting glimpses out of the corner of my eye...
Exciting imagination by a piece of the sky...
Where inspiration for a grinning cat...
Disappears in a wisp of Clear Air Turbulence...
