Re: APOD: NGC 1365: Majestic Island Universe (2022 Dec 22)
What I'd like to see is a three dimensional portrait of the galaxy and relative directional motion of it's different areas. The reddish dust lanes, if that's correct, leading toward the center appear to be rising up from the plane and returning toward the center. Just saying it has an appearance of ...

Wondering what the difference in interaction of these two galaxies that appear to be in the same rotational direction vs galaxies that collide coming at each other in opposite rotation.

Art, thank you so much. I did suspect that the one smack dab in the middle might be the one. It does look just right seeing as the expansion is quite symmetrical.It must be more difficult to find the star of origin in a nebula that are not symmetrical. Thanks again.

Re: APOD: Millions of Stars in Omega Centauri (2019 Aug 24)
What is the relative moment of the stars within a globular cluster? And referring to the question from Mark Bour, if there were a black hole what would it's movement be if any and how would it be affecting the stars around it? Would the mass of a star position it a certain way within the cluster? Is...
