Re: APOD: Trees, Sky, Galactic Eye (2010 Jun 29)
WOW! What a neat picture. I found the tent and the center of our Milky Way that's about it :? I wish the playful potographer would come on here and explain how he did that. It was obviously done at night, but the trees are lit up from the bottoms of their trunks to the tops of their branches. A flas...

I studied it for a long time and will have to agree with Neufer's first anology. It's a brick wall

Charles Messier Born June 26 1730 -- Died April 12 1817 at age 87 Yrs.
I guess that would make him about 280 now.
Happy Birthday Sir Charles and RIP. Thanks for your contribution to the astronomy world and beyond.

That is one beatuiful starry, starry night. About half way up the mountain it looks like steps going up to an open door. Looks like they left the light on for us.

Re: APOD: Sunrise Solstice at Stonehenge (2010 Jun 21)
I guess I don't get it. The sun rises over stonehenge in an astronomically significant way. What different way? It seems to me like nothing there is really lined up with the sun. What am I missing?

Re: APOD: Stereo Itokawa (2010 Jun 19)
What an amazing photograph. I hope the capsule will contain some of the sample from the rubble pile asteroid Itokawa. When will we know? Will it be published on this forum? Another question I have is this: We took our three grandaughters to see "Toy Story 3" today and it was in 3D. I coppe...

Wow, thanks guys. That's a lot of information for just one day on the forum. Does every single star that we see have a name or number somewhere?

I used to check the Digg site some, but there wasn't much useful information coming from there. Mostly people calling each other Idiots and morons o...
