Anyone know why certain nearby stars are prefixed Wolf?

Ummm... Isn’t a landing where they “land”? It’s very lovely to see the shots stitched together, but I was expecting a CGI representation of landing & a view from the surface.

As mwhite66 points out, they left out the important redesigns of the silver certificate. In 1935 we all came under the watchful eye of the pyramid.

Wait, shouldn’t it be MACduino? Is it Irish? Is it playing the uellien pipes or bag pipes? Hoot mon, this is a big deal!

Not apropos to this, but I was thinking, since the universe lies to screw with our expectations, watch Venus become the first place off earth where we discover life.

I just think it’s cool (pun) that someone named Teufel (German for “devil”) would be working on something ultra-cold.

I would be so completely jazzed if it was a captured planet. 1,000 AU is a long distance, but it’s a heck of a lot closer than 4.5 light years. To be able to study something from the galactic depths without leaving our solar system would be insane.

If there were any justice in Hollywood they would Lo be up against Moana.

I guess you could do that with a pine cone or a sunflower too. But the thinking involved seems amazing. I know it’s just math, but to realize it, and add the art, is lovely. I loved the bowl made of cubes.

It could be up against La La Land, Manchester by the Sea, Arrival, and a film no one has seen, another one no one has seen, a film seen by three critics in a basement, and four films that were only released to academy voters.

Don’t see it mentioned but there is a form of martial arts theoretically for women. Wing Chun. It’s not the same story as Wikipedia, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_Chun, but I’d been taught that it was developed by Buddhist nuns to defeat male opponents. Consisting of small, fast hits to specific areas, getting…

I forced myself to watch Uinverse because a friend of a friend was on the cast. I liked the idea that the universe was bigger & weirder than humans thought. But it just never gelled, and everything was so dire & drab.

Sure there were a bunch of bad episodes, but it wasn’t Enterprise bad. That show was unwatchable, from the opening power ballad to the greased up naked Vulcan chick, (well she was watchable, but it wasn’t in the spirit of ST) to the invisible black dude, to Scott Bakula being out-acted by a beagle. I saw one episode I…

The people who voted out of pure self interest, knowing Trump only cares about keep the rich, rich—that I understand. It’s amazing how many of the other folks are deluded.

I’ll check that out. Thanks.

I kid, because I love. I may need to seek asylum there one day, who knows?

If the colonies had stayed together after WWII they wouldn’t be so backward. I mean Canada? C’mon! What a hell hole!

Holy smokes! Is this interstellar space, then, if there are still remnants of the sun floating about? This also give me a sense of how freaking far our nearest neighbor is.

Where is this in comparison to the Oort Cloud? Any possibility of accidentally hitting anything? Or is it way past that? I got the idea from yesterday’s article about the wandering star that the Oort Cloud is huge.

This is about the 14th study I’ve heard of which “may have found the answer!” Everything from how long the logs floated down the river, to microcrystalline studies of the varnish, to precise placing of the interior pegs. I’m now in the school of “don’t make any claims until you’ve actually duplicated the darn thing.”…
