A daytime bolide?
Dear brother and sister stargazers: In Pocono Lake, PA, on 6 May, 2010 I was sitting at our computer located in our front/sun room. The computer is against the NNW wall, with a big bay window to our right facing ENE (and Arrowhead Lake), and a French door to the front porch behind facing SSE. Around...

Boomer12 was nice. It reminded me of Predator v. Alien.

Not that I believe in them, but don't alien buffs cite the next to last figure as a prehistoric astronaut visitor? What are some more sane and sober archaeological musings?

Hmm. Interesting that none of the speculation involves ocean crust movements, either subduction activity, or expanding ridge activity. The latter is rather unlikely, and one wonders there was no associated earthquake anywhere nearby. And yup: the universe is BIG: Romans 1:20.

Re: Is APOD a blog?
Maybe. If so, I agree with Chris' sorting of type. From my experience of them, I view blogs as little different from rants, some rather caustic, but others on the edge and afraid to be. To owlice my comment is that in the case of Steinmetz, D. H. Pink is wrong. But I will grant that the original Lat...

Re: JKCS041: Farthest Galaxy Cluster Yet Measured (2009 Oct
Thanks to Chris Peterson and all for the discussions. So, I realize I should have put "geocentrist" in quotes, and that the more proper term might now be something like "univercentrist". In sum all I have to say is WOW!!!: it's great having some idea of how big God's universe is.

JKCS041: Farthest Galaxy Cluster Yet Measured (2009 Oct 28)
Dear phpBB:
I don't get it: How can that fuzzy blue thing be farther away than the other galaxies clearly visible in the image? And in terms of the shape and size of the universe, aren't we in the same position as those geocentrists prior to Copernicus: we can only observe the universe from here:??
