Starship Asterisk*

Very Cool image!

I am reminded of the "doomsday machine" from the original Star Trek series.

Wow! Space is really big!

A penguin superimposed by it's spirit ancestor a Quetzalcoatalus.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster!!

I'm (not?) worthy!!

Are you sure that is not Great Prismatic spring in Yellowstone?

Also appearing: the Nike swoosh Nebula

The Turkey Drumstick Nebula

Are you sure That is not a TIE fighter?

Can NASA build a giant deep frier so we can all have French fries?

Everyone needs to write their senator...

I see a Lunar O!

I think they forgot "training exercise"

Are these protostars at the fusion producing stage yet, Or is their brightness the result of the energy released thru the accretion process?

I think there is some clarification needed in the text. "The 100-million light-year simulation starts about 20 million years after the Big Bang and runs until the present" how does a 100 MY sim cover from 20 MYA the BB to present?? My math says the sim should be ~13,680 MY (given 13.8 BYO...

as the fission-powered supernova glow faded. Am I correct in assuming this means the the "afterglow" is powered by the breakdown of the heavier (unstable?) isotopes created in the initial blast? "First I'm gonna smack you with my fusion then I'm gonna pummel you with fission..."

Does any one else see a sad panda looking out of the center pillar?

HST is a National and Global treasure to be sure!!

Those are not ice plumes, they are the floodlights from an Illuminati/CIA/Halliburton terra-forming/strip mining operation.
They are getting a jump on the colonization and subsequent environmental destruction of mans next home.

Is it possible that the marked difference in the maria/crater ratio from the near to far side is caused by the constant pull of the Earth's gravity on the denser molten core? Thus shifting it closer to the near side surface resulting in more volcanic activity.

Boy NASA has come a long way in producing fake moon landings!!

Didn't go very fast??? Our virtual starship covered over 30 billion light years in 58 seconds!

Scotty I need Ludicrous Speed NOW!!

Casper does The Funky Chicken

Giant Plasma Space Lobster!!

Cover yourselves in lemon and butter!!

Important science:

An examination of this composite reveals a very irregular edge to the Earths shadow upon Luna.

This is pretty conclusive evidence that Earth must have an atmosphere.
