Starship Asterisk*

Ah, ye of little faith! Once the "Unified Theory of Everything" is perfected, someone will undoubtedly be able to figure out how to include a "reverse" gear in our transmissions (at least mathematically). :lol: The sum of its parts... there may be a theory to encompass the 'whol...

http://www.fas.org/irp/imint/docs/rst/Sect20/A8.html Another commonly cited "mental picture" is the raisin loaf analog. Consider bread dough(with a high dosage of yeast) in which are embedded randomly but uniformly spread out numerous raisins. The dough (envision this either in the traditi...

I imagine more of an inflating ocean-type expanse that's getting 'bigger' as the material of matter and energy is fondled and grasped by gravity and other forces as you say 'interacts' if they are in proximity to eachother. so then a big bang may not even be a true title if the matter/energy of star...

That whole balloon theory is so overused. If our galaxies were all on a two-dimensional plane, aren't there 'sides' to the balloon? Kind of like the earth. We can't see one continent while standing upon another because of the curve of the earth, why is it that we see so many galaxies from our one va...

I see a UFO in some of those... =b

unidentified to be sure... unless its just debris from your lense, but it looks like two shapes are visible, with one above then below that colorful little cloud you imaged.

Deep Impact certificates ended awhile ago. Once the probe went *SMACK* into Comet tempel 1. =) Not sure what you mean. :? Kepler hasn't launched yet! Orin que??? Deep Impact Discovery Mission to Comet Tempel 1 happened in 2005 when it struck the little comet bugger. They stopped accepting submissio...

O.o!! http://www.mpe.mpg.de/ir/GC/index.php Within few light years we find here ten thousands of stars forming a dense cluster, and the geometric centre of our Galaxy harbours a supermassive black hole with around 3.6 million solar masses. Due to its relative proximity of around 8 kiloparsecs, the G...

That is so awesome.... how can you not see it?! its right there! =)))
we have a supermassive blackhole at the center of our galaxy! woot! \o/

sweet! Certificate #18861! =))

had my name on the Deep Impact mission also... cert#8449.

Love it when they do this...

The jets fired only up to a point above the surface, and the legs attached to the lander were built to sustain a medium jolt from landing after the jets were cut-off just above the site. I'm thinking about a 3-4 foot drop maybe? Saw a program last night showing the different testing phases, and it s...

Only thing I'm wondering about if our solar system is from the Sagittarius Dwarf galaxy, does the composition of our sun match the composition of suns from the 'other' galaxy merging with the Milky Way? It says they focused on M type stars, and the 'other' galaxy popped out at them. http://viewzone....

Dark room, mirror, camera phone with flash. Take a picture of the flash reflection in the mirror and you will get two white objects seemingly floating in black space that is similar to a solar object with a small body reflecting the larger object's light.

Easy enough.

Into those caverns I say!! If Man wants to set a foothold on Mars, what better than to create a colony within an already protected environment? Start some plantgrowth in those holes, get a primitive airsystem going in whatever habitat and create elevators or lifts to get people to and from the inter...

Above animation: Approaching Jupiter Date: 02.03.1979 This is the original Voyager 'Blue Movie' (so named because it was built from Blue filter images). It records Voyager 1's approach during a period of over 60 Jupiter days. Notice the difference in speed and direction of the various zones of the a...

The collapsed star, called a magnetar, is located at the exact ce...

Does anybody have any ideas on how the Red Square Nebula(MWC 922) got its almost right angle corners? http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070416.html How did it originate?I believe it was made by intelligent design,but that's my belief.I'm not trying to make a big deal about this,but I think it woul...

So if Phoenix is ably to digg a few cm deep, distubance by exhaust gasses is a minor problem.

ugh... gotta get that digg link out of here! its corrupting the minds of all...

The immense nebula is an estimated 7,500 light-years away in the southern constellation Carina the Keel (of the old southern constellation Argo Navis, the ship of Jason and the Argonauts, from Greek mythology). This image is a mosaic of the Carina Nebula assembled from 48 frames taken with Hubble S...

Ergo, the seemingly fast moving moons only viewable for the 1-day photo op. :P The storm systems look like they are really slow when compared to the rotation of Jupiter. Although the scale is ridiculous compared to Earth's storms. Jupiter's storms appear to be slow, but would probably rip the face o...

Isn't that just garbage from the air picked up by the camera taking the image as the landing is descending? I don't think that's actual landscape behind it. They just enhanced the detail of the lander and parachute. =/

*hands cream to those who get butt-hurt from people's opinions/comments* *hands manual of 'How to not always be so pessimistic' to those who always are* Good Job EDL Team! Forget the communication foul-up at the end, it all went well and the touchdown was another hole in one (seeing as how the Phoen...

Damn You Jupiter for being so thickheaded... =b http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/790106-0203_Voyager_58M_to_31M_reduced.gif hmmm... so why does the giant red spot in this time-lapse seem like its stationary?
