New stuff at end of this forum 5/14... WAY COOL

Oh, the irony of the Universe; Everything destructive is so beautiful.

very nicely put tjhkkr. Where did you find this? By the way, I'm curious, but my eyes are too bad and my Hebrew is rusty: What is the motto in your picture (trying to transcribe: Cha'il Ha-somethingorother?)?

Very nicely put! Except maybe for the e-coli bacterium...

It was in the News... and sometimes the guys like looking at this...

As to the IDF symbol; I sent an e-mail to Erik asking to remove it; I have tried but been unable to.
Someone took offense to it, and I am not at all interested in stirring the pot on this forum.
We have too good a group of folks on this forum for that.

Cool! We actually had an aurora here in the UK because of this. I missed it though!

Dang Igard....you must learn to fine-tune the sensors when your cloaking device is
activated (I assume to protect your Cargo Bay contents from Data). [:D]

Man, a missed aurora is no joking matter. I still remember the fascination about them reading Jules Verne novels as a kid.
I feel for you Igard, I would feel even more over an ale...if you have some left

EDIT: Oh, and TJ....you have the soul of a poet [&o]

Such a shame to be so bold! [:-] LOL!

Well, luck favors the....bald [:D]

Well, it is suppose to be a on ongoing thing...
I am curious thought IGard... do you see it as a lit horizon, or do you see some of the bands like we see in the pictures?
This aurora so cool.
Here in Missouri, I have yet to see it at all... not like the 1938 aurora where you could see it WAY south...

The images on the news showed a very large wispy lines of aurora, right there in the sky, not the horizon at all. Looked really beautiful.

I think it was only seen 1 night last week, and was expected to be seen the following, but there was cloud cover over most of the country.

Gutted that I missed it. Another thing I still need to tick off my astronomy wishlist!

Well, the next solar maximum cycle is well under way, so with a bit of luck there will be another aurora visible from Scotland soon.

Keep an eye on http://spaceweather.com/ . The eruptions on the sun need a day or two to reach the earth, and if conditions are right the next big one could be visible from Scotland - but to maximize your chances you should find a find a lake, shore or mountaintop so you have a clear view to the northern Horizon.

Unless you live in Northern Norway - then you just have to look straight up

I'm keeping my eye on Aurorawatch UK. Wish I had a decent camera to take pics like that!

Thank you for sharing; that is a great picture.

Behold yet another marvel in the darkness...
It is amazing what you can see without the light polution from a modern city...

Well it is truly not a space hurricane, but it is an incredible video...

And more importantly for Elliot

http://now.msn.com/now/0221-death-star-cost.aspx
Math nerds calculate Death Star cost at $852 quadrillion

I wonder if Elliot's economic model takes this into account... [;)][:D]

Tj, thanks for that vid of the solar tornado, quite breathtaking and strangely unnerving.

As for the death star, well I'm just surprised we could even put a figure on that. It also says it would take us 800,000 years to build it? hmmmm.....

Worth it![:D]

I will settle just for a shuttlecraft.....in a dozen lifetimes.
I know, wishful thinking [:)]

How cool is this....
