I will upgrade you for 3 months if you can identify the exact film plate that this image comes from. Yes, if you do it right it is possible to be specific about that, and it should be part of the solution if you find it without just guessing at it. If however the original question I asked is answered first without this bonus part, this bonus is null and void. Quoting: Dr. Astro This bonus itself contains a kind of hint, doesn't it? 20 inch astrograph Not telescope type, film plate, as in the specific film plate identifier. The film plate identifier is a series of numbers and letters... Film plate Long exposure of Pluto and Charon? |

I will give a free month upgrade to the first person who can correctly answer both parts of this question. What is this AND what specifically is causing it (I'm looking for a proper name here): Quoting: Dr. Astro [link to farm9.staticflickr.com] This photograph was taken on March 13, 1955. It may not seem like this is enough information to answer the questions, but to a resourceful GLP'er there is already more than enough info here to figure it out. The date might seem like a distractor once you have the correct answer, but I put it out there to help you narrow down the possible sources. Have fun. If no one figures out the answer by tomorrow, I'll give a clue on how to find the answer. I was a bit sloppy in putting this together though, so I may have left a bread crum for those who are particularly clever. *Added Bonus: I will upgrade you for 3 months if you can identify the exact film plate that this image comes from. Yes, if you do it right it is possible to be specific about that, and it should be part of the solution if you find it without just guessing at it. If however the original question I asked is answered first without this bonus part, this bonus is null and void. Some lame illuminutie psy-op? |

Shove your free month up your ass. Actually I'm trying to encourage people to use primary source materials and other resources to find the answers to things they see in places like google sky and can't identify. Then why don't you just teach them how to do it instead of acting like some superior jackass? You can make all the excuses you like, this is purely for your ego. Its been to quiet and there's been nothing to debunk lately. Too much gun control and Sandy Hook and War shit. Just like the last time when it was I think the North Star moved but No it hasn't. Attention seeking behavior. He's bored and needs a paycheck. By the post remember. |

The object of this bit of fun is to highlight the value of good RESEARCH. There is only ONE correct answer and ONE elaborated bonus answer. Vague guesses will not suffice. So far the quality of replies is very telling.. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 142629 You get it. Which forum did they ask about this? That's hilarious. |

Their proximity is causing this to happen. 2 very bright stars watched by one scope is causing that halo effect |
