Islander Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Antares is the 15th brightest star in the sky. It is more than 1000 light years away. ... so ... how significant should we really be feeling, right about now? astro 5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Here is a photo I took last night. It was mostly cloudy here, with an occasional break in the clouds for a few seconds, so my opportunities were limited to get in a shot.

Seadog Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 We could sit on her front porch at night, and watch the satellites fly by overhead. I've posted this link before, but it's a neat site. Find out when a visible spacecraft will be visible from your location!

Bill H. Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Michael, Thanks for the Beautiful Pictures...........You have the Talent! All Jokes aside.............What about the Color of Uranus, with the Gas pockets, it looks mighty Green to me Uranus The greenish color of it atmosphere is due to methane and This view of Uranus was acquired by Voyager 2 on January 10, 1986. The blue-green appearance of its atmosphere results from methane and high-altitude photochemical smog. This gas absorbs red wavelengths from the incoming sunlight, leaving the predominant bluish color seen here. Towards the bottom of the image a few clouds can be seen. This image is one of the few Voyager pictures that shows this type of cloud. (Copyright Calvin J. Hamilton) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here it is in unaltered B&W Michael, I really like your unaltered B&W. Did you shoot any in color? The reddish color was very apparent here in Texas.
