Only Me Strawberry Girl User ID: 34792354 United States 07/28/2013 08:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | beautiful :) Goodbye, halcyon days... There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened. |

Quoting: psyoptics this summer i have been teaching my 9 year old about the stars and planets. i would like to have him read some of astro threads...but with all the lovely words being used and repeated....kinda tough! shame really. what? so shills have kids that want to learn about science. and AC's...well repeatedly use so much senseless profanity, thread can not even be viewed by young kids? and I am the shill. look in the mirror. a good video editor can make anyone say anything the editor wants. |

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness. Like resignation to the end, always the end. Just a little happiness and health is all I wanted. |

For example: I would like to buy a decent starter telescope that can also plug into a laptop that would help map out the area of the nights sky I'd be looking at. Do you have any suggestions of something of the such? Or simply, can you recommend a decent telescope? Thanks for your always logical and well presented information on this site!

Anonymous Coward User ID: 42032529 United States 07/28/2013 10:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ghosts of a long forgotten past. Are these galaxy's still there? Do they exist anymore? The light we see in these images are hundreds of millions and perhaps hundreds billions of years old. Were they created just for us and us alone? Kinda like rock candy in the Outlaw Josey Wales. Not for eat'n...just for look'n thru. If there was someone alive on one of those billions of long ago stars...did they look out to the night sky and not see our galaxy because it/we didn't exist yet? Questions, questions. Not that it really matters. |

Do you have any suggestions of something of the such? Or simply, can you recommend a decent telescope? Thanks for your always logical and well presented information on this site! Two key questions, what do you want to do with it and what is your experience level? For a beginner I always recommend a good Dobsonian telescope. An Orion xti or xtg dob will be able to connect to a computer and show you on planetarium software where you are pointed. If you want to do astrophotography you need at least a tracking mount. The Orion xtg can enable you to do some very basic astrophotography, short exposures of the planets and moon, maybe some brighter deep space objects, but if you want to get into higher end stuff you need a polar aligned telescope which requires more cash and more skill. |

Quoting: TEOTWAIKI (It kinda looks like a view through a microscope of pond water or a mescaline trip gone bad) It would be more interesting to me to see pictures of known objects like the structures on Mars or the Dark Side of the Moon. Something I can sink my teeth into... Good "as above, so below" observation of the similarity to pond water grasshopper. Spread the word, change the collective conscious......

Not that it really matters. The galaxies are probably still there, but are farther apart by now, and have a new generation of stars within them. Some of the old stars will be there, many of the slower burning stars, but the larger fast burning stars have probably already died by now. |

About how far do you think a person needs to travel to escape such light pollution? Atlanta is at least surrounded by darker rural regions. I've driven through it a couple of times. I would say pick a direction and drive for an hour. The farther the better of course, but driving an hour outside of Orlando took me to decent skies when I was in college. Not super dark, but decent. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 41518311 Great work, keep it up! Thanks, those are great ideas. I'll see if I can incorporate that info into a video. People seem to like this, so I think I'll start making it into a video series and highlight the best Hubble photos each month. "Hubble Highlights." |

The SWASTIKA is a GALAXY. I didn't leap to the conclusion that it was our Milky Way though, instead I thought it was more likely to be the galaxy that our creators hail from. Adding it here since it is relevant :-D |
