Starship Asterisk*

Clicking the Khalifa Tower link takes you to a google map view that reveals businesses in the adjacent mall, particularly Fatburger, a restaurant I have enjoyed in Tempe, Arizona. I know it might not be the best U.S. export, but I do love that we have a global culture, it does make me feel like I li...

I think a better title would be "Shadow Road to the Moon" to be more illustrative of the remarkable perspective of distance shown.

So is it the dark dust shown in this picture that is counter rotating, or more like the large faint extension shown in this image: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap070802.html ?

I remember thinking it was weird to see two satellites so bright streaking north... does anyone know why they would appear to head north for me when in this picture the...

Oh I didn't think of that! Yeah, I often hear people say the Earth has an average albedo of .3. I'm just frustrated I have to use averted vision to see the Pleiades from where I live close to downtown.

I hate to be a downer, but all that light is completely wasted, lights are supposed to be for people on the ground, not space. I wonder what the process is, does it all come down to some city council person getting sold on some cheap light fixtures, "Oh there are no glare blockers, oh well, sav...
