Starship Asterisk*

Well, some people think differently.

Gotcha, Beyond. And I can say, they are not peeing off that bridge. I'm pretty sure that the artist didn't intend for that to be present. But I just realized that I went to see a play that was Shakespeare-related (can't remember the title), and it was hard to understand. And I think Shakespeare was ...

There isn't even an opening in the bridge for the guy on the right to relieve himself! Unless they were taking turns, that is...creepy!

I wonder if anyone would appreciate me pointing out many of the clouds that appear in this video... 0:30: cirrus clouds (light can be seen through them 0:37: cumulonimbus (lightning clouds) 1:07: altocumulus (look like white spots), altocumulus undulatus (lined pattern) 1:15: cirrus, cirrocumulus (s...

I wish the Praesepe could be seen. It is just off the top if this image, in the constellation Cancer, my zodiac sign!

Almost the sane thing happened to my cucumber last summer, but it was early. It wasn't time to harvest it yet, but a few bugs had crawled into it and ended up growing mold. That was my only successful cucumber, too, albeit it was my first time growing vegetables.

Wow, geckzilla, that's nice to know.....

It's been a while since we had some owl action. It's been a while since we've had some hummingbird action! Not trying to divert the topic too much here, but last summer, as my mother was watering the flowers in our backyard, a hummingbird went up to the water, where the mist was, and was apparently...

Wow! So much detail in this image! The colors really blend together well.

Wouldn't be surprised if that happened.

There was so much wind today! Many branches fell from trees, and it was a practical leaf storm whenever there were gusts of wind. There must have been a cold front nearby, especially considering the cooler temperatures forecasted.

I saw a Perseid meteor last summer, and it was bright orange with a brownish trail.

Thanks, everybody!

Especially if the picture is 900 kilobytes in size! I wonder if it's even possible for the image to become small enough to post here!

I use RegiStax6 image processing software. The image may have become a bitmap image after I saved it via RegiStax6.

And it's supposed to be cloudy tonight! Oh well. So much for stargazing.

On the other hand, I took my first picture of the moon! I wish I could post it here, but it is a bmp image, which apparently is not allowed for some reason. Can anyone help with that?

Well, this is the only forum that does not really relate to astronomy...I guess people like to take a break from talking astronomy and talk about other things, which I think is the purpose of this forum. Actually a good idea.

That page is awesome!

I don't see anything wrong with that statement.

I think you mean M6, not M7.
And OverlordE, I have a feeling that it would take about a few thousand years or so.

Wow, what an interesting article. I never knew how much equipment was needed to take a picture of a bat drinking water. The hard work does pay off, though. Very beautiful bats!

Wow! What a striking image! Who knew sunspots could be seen with the unaided eye?

Once this past summer, I was swimming in my pool around dusk when I saw a bat swoop down from the sky and drink the water! I thought that was amazing.

This one is my favorite! (I think the funniest parts are at 1:50 and 2:15)
