*Official* Astronomy Pic thread!

[BaseRSX]

I get all mine from the same site, Astronomy Picture of the Day - http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html

Everyone should check this site out daily! Here is a great one from a few days ago.



P.S. I would sure save A LOT of server space if this site would just allow pics to be added with the tags like most other boards doâ?¦

You say you're so full of love, now? You were racist and prejudiced, in a different thread.

Astronomy was an elective of mine at college.

dude did you guys know that the aliens used to be humans and we used to be monkeys, then once they got smart they went to outer space and left us, then we got smart and eventually well become aliens

Just a random thought.... Why do you think we are unable to find the specific links between humans and apes?

You know in their raw form those pictures are colorless, and someone gets to have the wicked fun of coloring them. I read an article about it, comparing the process to impressionist painting, or some kind of fancy pants look at me I can read mumbo jumbo. :upsidedow Interesting none the less.

[robert42]

This site gives you access to NASA's satellites of Earth in a program called "NASA World Wind".
http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/index.html

You can download the moon on there, also.

[Nochowderforyou]

What an interesting thread. Cool pictures too! All but Beachguys fallen out nutsack though :p

If I had a telescope, I'd get ripped and look through that shit for hours. :thumbsup:

[beachguy in thongs]

You know, I encourage passing by that as quickly as possible, but if you did take a closer look, you'd be able to see the spermatozoa nebula. Just kidding, so don't go look.
