heapow discussion???

Post by Black wHole » Mon Sep 26, 2005 9:22 pm

In addition to apod I visit the High Energy Astrophysics Pic of the Week site . It often raises puzzling questions that would make for great discussion. Can the Asterisk add a discussion forum for HEAPOW?

I've edited original post to make it a poll. Let's see what people will say. IMHO, there's room for these discussions in current forum rules, but I think this requires many people who are ready to jump in, so if there are none around, why make empty topics, right?

By all means, discussion is warranted I would say. :D

This APOD discussion forum started with the Voynich manuscript, which has little to do, if anything, with astronomy. Then the "streak" found in a Oz. So this HEAPOW should fit right in.

Been busy working on the boat before winter sets in, sorry. :(

What about NASA image of the day?

Or Space.com Image of the Day

Or NASA's Hubble site

They all have wonderful images.

two things I'd like to see in posts about those:
1. clear reference to image source in the topic subject (like "APOD Sep/27", "APRTHR Sep/27", etc;
2. URL in the very beginning of the post.
