And such huge masses of air are being shifted around that here in Ottawa summer has yet to begin .. it's been more like autumn.

Wait till they find the CMB is not 'echoes of a Big Bang' .. and, in fact, if, as some Big Bang fan posters here suggest, there was no Big Bang explosion, but a simultaneous coming into existance across a huge area, then why should the CMB be echoes of an explosion?

No, it's not guesswork at all, and your saying so just reveals (again) how little you actually understand about how science works.

You're right, it's not guesswork: It's the earth is at the centre of the universe stuff.

I don't understand how what some people consider science works, but I understand how Chris's "you don't understand how science works" works. I see the glimmerings of a sense of humour .. either that, Chris, or you're the Big Chief Troll of all Trolls. I vote for the former.

Neuf you're hillarious.

Don't pee the aliens off? Hey, don't pee the tolls off!

Bystander, you're right on, too. I would have used the Piss word except I saw your name on the board, and recognize your authority.

How can you NOT think the orientation of the teapot's spot will affect the top of the teapot's steam cloud?

Genesis seems to be the foundation for all other creation myths .. Abram coming from Ur. That's amusing. There are cultures all over the world that have never been exposed to the Judaic creation myth. Look at some of the native North American cultures and their creation stories. In any case, astron...

Oh That old chest Nut.. (anti gravity bubble) Did any body invent one yet?

Ia've got one floating around here someplace .. hard to keep it tethered.

Play your hand for all it's worth, Bluffer.

Ah .. but what if they discovered water beyond the furthest star? That would prove Genesis Chapter One correct. If that's your criterion for "proof", why wouldn't it "prove" any number of creation myths? Certainly, there are many where the Universe starts out as water and everyt...

Zero gravity on the moon? You'd best dig out your old copy of Dick and Jane Go To the Moon and review the pertinent details. A test will be given.

Like sputnick or aristarchinexile

Very attractive names .. the fellow who thought of using them here on APOD must be very creative, possibly with a hint of mischief.

Looks more like an upside down Jellyfish to me. And what the heck is this 'emanating from a Black Hole' business when Black Holes are still theoretical entities.

A wonderful drink you might be interested in trying is a Crown Float .. first half-fill a large glass with good Cyder, then pop a can of Guiness and 'float' the Guiness atop the Cyder.
