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

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




onomastikon -> RE: Space Hurricane. (1/26/2012 8:56:22 AM)

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...




tjhkkr -> RE: Space Hurricane. (1/26/2012 8:00:30 PM)

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.




Igard -> RE: Space Hurricane. (1/26/2012 10:45:14 PM)

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]




Data -> RE: Space Hurricane. (1/28/2012 4:20:21 PM)

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 [sm=00000619.gif]

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...




Igard -> RE: Space Hurricane. (1/30/2012 3:15:55 PM)

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!




Arcatus -> RE: Space Hurricane. (2/3/2012 12:34:50 AM)

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 ;)

Igard -> RE: Space Hurricane. (2/3/2012 3:21:23 AM)

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




tjhkkr -> RE: Space Hurricane. (2/3/2012 7:35:39 AM)

Thank you for sharing; that is a great picture.




tjhkkr -> RE: Space Hurricane. (2/13/2012 11:45:28 AM)

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...




tjhkkr -> RE: Updated 2/21/2012: Space Hurricane (2/21/2012 4:15:05 PM)

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]




Igard -> RE: Updated 2/21/2012: Space Hurricane (2/22/2012 8:34:41 AM)

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]




Data -> RE: Updated 2/21/2012: Space Hurricane (2/22/2012 7:19:49 PM)

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




tjhkkr -> Mars whirlwind... 3/24 (3/25/2012 3:29:21 AM)

How cool is this....

Simulation01 -> RE: Mars whirlwind... 3/24 (3/25/2012 4:54:51 AM)

Sigh. Mars. The apple of my eye.




Igard -> RE: Mars whirlwind... 3/24 (3/25/2012 7:05:30 PM)

Cool! [8D]




tjhkkr -> RE: Mars whirlwind... 3/24 (3/31/2012 11:55:38 PM)

Behold the beauty of our world...

Shadow Tiger -> RE: Mars whirlwind... 3/24 (4/1/2012 12:26:13 AM)

It is neat.




Igard -> RE: Mars whirlwind... 3/24 (4/1/2012 2:04:23 AM)

You can see the reflection of the milky way on the water!

Maybe a bit of help with photoshop though? Beautiful all the same.




tjhkkr -> RE: Mars whirlwind... 3/24 (4/1/2012 5:17:17 AM)

And another neat thing to read!!!

IGard; maybe it is, but I give you my word I did not manipulate it... [:)]

Man that would make an awesome desktop wallpaper... 1920 x 1080 ...(subtle hint, right?) [;)]




ehsumrell1 -> RE: Mars whirlwind... 3/24 (4/1/2012 8:25:44 AM)

Fantastic shot TJ! [sm=happy0065.gif]

What sort of camera and equipment do you have?

If I take a million shots, I'll maybe get a shot like that once.
