Here you can share pictures or information about planets or anything that is in space in general. Comets, asteroids, the different suns, or even some amazing current information.

If you go to this link you can see a huge meteroite crater in Arizona. There is another huge one in New Mexico. Very interesting.

I hear NASA wants to "go back" to the moon. Why! the moon sucks, there's no man it, its not made of cheese and the coolest thing there is a Russian tank.

cool cheers

I actually heard they want to go as far as Mars now. So that would be interesting.

Well you said post anything about space!

That'd be a crappy ride!

What is a 'planetary nebulae'?

I have one as a screen saver.

It looks like the planets orbiting a star were fragmented and gassified by some kind of major explosion.

Or perhaps it is a planet that exploded at the poles?

I cant decide cause I don't know enough on the subject.

A red giant star has a hot, dense core and a cool, tenuous shell.

When the core grows hot enough to ignite helium fusion, the increased radiation pressure from the increasingly luminous core blows the cool shell away completely.

The hot core, deprived of its sheath, can be seen naked for the first time. The outer stellar layers blow out into space, and those departing layers are called a “planetary nebula”.

The one I have shows globs of matter different in appearance from the matter ejected from the center.

and they display distortion caused by the ejected matter... ergo they appear (to my eyes) to be (if the center is a sun) severely damaged planets.

I am trying to figure out how to load that picture but I is quite ancient in my puter skills.

Perhaps that is a bipolar planetary nebula, or perhaps (if possible) two nebulas occuring at the same time.

It is beautiful picture what you offer that is for sure.

When I looked on the google images one can see there are so many different types of nebulas each with different names to them.

Highly interesting whoever observes those for a living that is for sure.

To me...

It looks as though the star exploded through its 'poles'(for lack of the proper language) ejecting matter from each.

It also looks as though there is rotation in the expanding 'debrie' field.

In the mid to upper right quadrant are two small blobs farly close (by the scale of the star) to each other.

They appear to me to be planets that were caught in the blast... and in studying the filiments of gas or debrie it also looks (to me) as though they were in the same plane as the rotation of the whole cloud.

I could be wrong.

You could be absolute right about this Adventure.

I wouldn't know either. What this does make me want to do is buy a telescope in the near future ( a really advanced big one) and just stare up in the stars.

I would love to discover Venus, Mars, or even Jupiter with the telescope.

It would be fascinating indeed.

If I am right...

I discovered an extra-solar planet.

(even if it might be just a slag heap).

Where's my prize and do I get to name it?

I wouldn't know, but if so then you should be celeberating indeed.

Same link as above, for the really really lazy people.

Very cool Mirrormirror

I am searching for a online telescope that offers live pictures or video of space throughout the day.

It looks like Microsoft released something for us for free. I haven't downloaded it yet, but it might be a winner.

Here is the link - http://www.worldwidetelescope.org/Home.aspx

The Sumerian cuneiform deciphering skills of Zecharia Sitchen, a linguist in command of many ancient languages, has set the scientific world on its ear with his astounding interpretations of ancient writings. In 1976, Sitchin's first book, The Twelfth Planet - Planet 'X', began an odyssey that has literally transformed the field of ancient history. Sitchen says this planetoid named Nibiru. This planet, unlike the other planets in our solar system, has an elliptical orbit and moves clockwise rather than counterclockwise. Nibiru's orbit passes through our solar system only once every 3,600 years, which is equal to one Nibiruan year.

Nibiru is called the 12th planet or Planet 'X'. (Metaphors: 12 Around 1 and 'X' as 10 = 1= new beginnings. 10 = 1010 binary code, as our reality is a computer program.)

Sitchen's controversial theory is based on his interpretation of ancient Sumerian texts, with its origin in the Bible, in the book of Genesis. Sitchin has spent decades as an archeologist and historian in the Middle East, researching ancient writings from the Sumerian civilization into a 5-part paperback series, The Earth Chronicles, documenting the Nibiruan interaction on Earth in ancient times. Nibiru is allegedly inhabited by the Anunnaki, Nefilim, Elohim, Giants of the Bible, Those Who From Heaven To Earth Came. They are allegedly a Reptilian Race.

I just like seeing that phrase on a dating website.
