Starship Asterisk*

I admit that my last post went ‘over the top’ but it was specifically designed to debunk the Cydonia ‘face’ farce. In my initial post I paraphrased Gertrude Stein’s phrase ‘a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose’ by noting ‘a face is a face is a face. In that and subsequent posts I showed that by usin...

I’ve examined the celebrated Cydonian ‘face’ repeatedly and haven’t found any evidence of Neufer, Owlice, or Owls in it. I’ve also examined NASA photos of Cydonia for evidence of pyramids, monuments, and cities, as suggested by Myers, Hoagland and others. Had there been such structures on Mars, they...

Transforming Alfred E Neuman to Newman obviated my worry about artlessly associating Art Neuendorffer, whom I respect, with Alfred, who appears vacuous. I now realize that icon Alfred has evolved beyond “What, me worry?” Looking behind the mask, I perceive the mind of Alfred - perhaps an apex of tho...

Art Neuendorffer provides a provocative analysis of the face-finding syndrome.
Art's logo also gave me an idea for a Cydonia-Newman image.
I'm still waiting for Rob to send me a potato.

I will look closely at each spud next time I restock my potato bin.

I recently saw a TV documentary about the face on the Shroud of Turin and wondered if there could possibly be points of similarity with the Cydonia 'face'. I selected a Wikipedia 'Jesus' image and combined it with an APOD image of the 'face on Mars'. The result is either remarkable, or not, dependin...

The APOD image of May 9, 2010, showing the immense halo around the Cat's Eye Nebula reveals a intriguing detail. There are concentric rings or ripples around the Eye. Maybe the rings are merely an artifact of image precessing to enhance the very faint halo. Or do they reveal a natural feature of th...

What exactly do you mean by "Spent Comet" ... Chris Peterson relplied: There are "spent comets", and they are physically difficult to distinguish from asteroids. A "spent comet" is one which has traveled enough times through the inner system to lose all its volatile ma...

Re: Saturn's Hyperion: A Spent Comet? Postby neufer on Wed Apr 29, 2009 2:41 pm Two problems with Hyperion = captured cometary nuclei: 1) No known cometary nuclei looks like Hyperion. 2) Cometary nuclei (~ 10 km) are normally much smaller than Hyperion (360×280×225 km). Response by Alex on Sunday Ma...

RE: NASA APOD image of January 18, 2009 - Saturn's Hyperion: 'A Moon with Odd Craters' may be a spent comet. My conjecture is that Hyperion is the remnant of a comet captured by Saturn. The capture drew Hyperion into an orbit near Titan. Hyperion resembles a burnt-out clinker. The 'craters' of Hyper...
