Starship Asterisk*

You will have had the same weather system as us, Astronymus! "Anticyclonic Gloom"! Some parts of the UK have seen the Sun for less than an hour in the last month! John Not that. Here the mountains are the problem. 1. You don't have a horizon at the bottom of the valleys for obvious reason...

Couldn't even see it because the skies were cloudy all the time.

Thanks for clearing everything up while I was away. :wink: Thanks. I had no idea! There is even a pre-phrased copyright disclaimer for people who like to show their pictures but do not intent to use them commercially. Just to be safe. I use it as well as I have pictures of the tower on my gallery. ...

Illuminated Eiffel Tower at nighttime without special copyright disclaimer. That could mean trouble if the photo is used commercially.

I appreciate NASA is an American agency which is beholden to increasing interest in space for Americans but I would appreciate having the courtesy of having conversions to metric units in brackets after the imperial ones, for the benefit of us international readers. Ja natuerlich. 280 light years i...

Elon left his mark.

Why is it possible to See the „black“ of the black whole , when - in our view - light from the sucked Stars only is around the whole And Not in Front. In my opinion the black whole has completely endlosen with light… It's an image of the radio band. It's not an actual photo. It like making infrasou...

Too far fetched.

Yeah, who doesn't remember the Battle of Witchhead?

This one was indeed lost at sea. That probably saved it from being destroyed as heathen magic.

It's unimaginable how much knowledge and progress was lost through the ages by religious fanatics destroying libraries and people.

Light pollution is really bad in the alps. Not fun for hobby stargazers. But hey, tourists can ski at night.. so important. Money.

Light pollution is the reason I basicly gave up an astronomy as a hobby...

I would give it a look but as usual when astronomical phenomena appear the sky is cloudy since and for weeks. I should take the hint and abandon all astronomical interest...

That's one heck of a mass accelerator...

We, in Germany, have already done these crazy acts. And now, one of the most industrialized nation on Earth will not only suffer a mega crisis due to crazy "green" ideas and a decrease of energy costs of 700%!!!. The politician went totally insane. The prime minister of the most industria...

Hey, hey. Calm down. It was a suggestion, not a new theory. One would have to analyse many pictures to determine if it "could" be a pattern or just a coincidence. And as micrometeorites do... did rotate, that's known due their melting pattern, I wondered... No worries. Hope you didn't tak...

This is true.

Easy to find on an Eizo screen.

The most common scifi scenario has the area walled off or domed over, with views through windows. More likely they will do that after space influencers and DimbDumb*-kids ruined the place for cheap shots. Then the place will have to be elaborately restored after protests of the public and then put ...

thought exercise. This scene and location will no doubt will be a museum site in the distant future. Probably the MOST FAMOUS space museum in the Solar System. Whether it is 150 years in the future or 500 years. Tourist will flock there just like they flock to the Pyramids of Giza or to Mecca today...
