Can You Recommend A Good Café?

[apodman]

Along with the server move, titles and guidelines have changed.

The latest name for the "Asterisk* Café" is "Discuss Anything Astronomy Related" with "Asterisk Café" as a subtitle.

I would miss contributors' fond references to the "Café" if the word slips from the title.

I googled "Astronomy Café", and it looks like someone is already using it.

I would like to see a snazzy title (something easy to say and refer to) and maybe a short descriptive subtitle.

TPTB might be open to suggestions at this time, so I suggest you all get creative and report back.

How about Asterisk Cafe w/ Discuss Anything Astronomy Related as a subtitle.

Sounds very familiar. I like it. Maybe I'm misreading the tea leaves, but the swapping of the titles gave me the impression somebody is looking to get away from "Asterisk".

It does seem like a good idea though.

Café d'Astronomie et de Cosmologie

[apodman]

A* Café

or

Sgr A* Café

or

Sagittarius A* Café

(maintains the asterisk)
(is appropriate to the subject matter)
(assumes its rightful place in the center of the galaxy)

A* Café is also sufficiently ambiguous to stand for Astronomy as well as maintaining the asterisk and paying homage to the mysteries of black holes.

The comparison of this forum to a black hole refers only to positive connotations.

Are you sure?

I vote for A* Café, Sgr A has an unlikely connection to the Smoking Gun Research Agency (SGRA).

Does this present an opportunity to perpetrate a deception on new members? Profile questions on the membership form could misdirect those who would be happier elsewhere.

Since the "Discuss" link comes from there, how about APOD Cafe?

Starlight Cafe?

[makc]

I saw a nice cafe the other day in a Van Gogh painting, outdoor tables beneath a tarpaulin overhang .. swirling galaxies in the sky .. just a nice spot for a coffee, beer or wine.
