Starship Asterisk*

Hasn't this one been up before? (not that I mind, since it's one of my favorites)

I can see why Arp 274 was chosen (although the 2nd place photo looks pretty cool too 8) ).

I'm going to go a little different direction from where this topic is going (just consider it a small detour :wink:). I just wanted to ask that if light can be pulled in by a black hole,does that suggest that light is matter (if it can be pulled in at all)? I'm not trying to change the direction of ...

It also looks like there's a meteor going through the middle of the photo.

That has got to be one of my more favorite photos (of the supernova).

Do all galaxy"turn the same direction studying the photograph"s thy all seem to turn from right to left :?: The apparent direction of rotation is an illusion, dependent upon the side from which we view the galaxy. Some appear to rotate clockwise (cw) and some counterclockwise (ccw). For m...

(or the other way around)

It does seem like a good idea though.



(How does the new post notifier work?[to the left of the topic])

This just my personal opinion,but I don't really think that the earth is warming up as much as it would seem,because with all this pollution,the temperature hasn't risen that much.

What's with the postal code, age, and gender questions at the beginning?

This tool is pretty awesome.(It's on the bottom of the page)

In terms of temperature it would be coolest

It is annoying when you find fingerprints on a photo.

Yeah,it's pretty cool. 8)

I've been wondering about something when I view pics like the M57 Ring Nebula at higher resolution. Just below and to the left of the nebula at the 7 o'clock position there are four stars arranged in an arch. I've seen grouping of stars like this in other pics where the stars appear to be a string ...

It seems that if the lectures aren't Apple's property,then they can't prevent everyone from watching them.

O.K. I got it now.I can't think straight sometimes.

Sorry,I didn't have enough time earlier to find the pictures. Here they are

This one is tilted one direction http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap991114.html

And this one is tilted another http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap071124.html

This APOD suggests the possibility of planets around binary star systems.

So how does NASA (and other space programs) get differently angled views of a galaxy or other extremely distant object?

Here's a small number of my favorites:

I wasn't complaining about the moderators.I was just saying that with 27,000 users, and 31,108 articles,there's bound to be doubled or tripled topics.Merging is probably the easiest way to keep them under control.

And also having 28 pages on Discuss APOD,and having around 10 pages on the Asterisk Cafe doesn't help either.
