Here. I just wanted to give y'all something beautiful.

I notice nobody ever looks at the page on my web-site where this filmstrip sits. And it's so lovely. This is my Christmas present to the Forum.

Take it and send it to somebody for Christmas. I got it off a French University's public site several years ago. It's a representation of the galaxy Canus Major.

Awww, thanks Emily. It is beautiful and I am saveing it.

A true reason to keep the dream alive. Thanks.

Pretty nice, maybe post a link to your site?

Thank you Emily Nice lil constellation clip.

The Canus Major Galaxy is actually a galaxy caught in the Milky Way's Galactic Halo. The majority of that image is of the Milky Way, while the part that gets zoomed in on is the core Canus Major Galaxy. The purple/pink parts are the elongated parts of the galaxy that have been pulled away from the core by the Milky Way's gravity.

From

In November of 2003 an even more startling discovery of a galaxy interacting with the M.W. was announced. A ring of stars has been determined to be a part of a dwarf galaxy (part of which is visible in the Canus Major constellation grouping) that lies about 25000 l.y. beyond the plane of the M.W. This disrupting mini-galaxy is even now interacting with our galaxy as stars are drawn in and merge. It has yet to be imaged in its entirety but here is an artist's drawing based on observational data:

And what was the French University's website? Just out of curiousity.

Thank you so much, while i'm not a space person, the colors are beautiful, I remember watching the movie contact with jodie foster. There is a part where she's in space making stops at different galaxies via wormholes, and the colors in are absolutely beautiful, with the constellations and gases, it's a beautiful mix.

That's what your picture reminded me of...

a quick check on the authors avatar might save ones
repeated circling, which may be a healthy exercise if
one were power walking, but is counter-productive if
one has a progression to a goal in mind. The
'Mandelbrot Concept'
may be a step forward in the quest....

hope your thanksgiving holiday was fulfilling....

The link was on my hd that crashed; there's a lotta good stuff I'll never get back to.

I cannot tell you which French University url that was. It's gone. Sorry.

Well, talking about pretty pictures...

E_T That guys work is sooo familiar. Did he work on a MMORPG called Eve Online?? Some of the artwork on their website and in the game look similiar.

Nice link E_T. I collect Astro Art but its only real paintings not digital. I also paint my own Astro Art and some of the info on that site is still helpful hits to painting even on real canvas thanks. My favorite astro artist is Robert McCall.

It's gorgeous, and I admire the ability of artists to "put down" what isn't right in front of their faces.

Naturally, all of these items are copyrighted--not in the public domain. So it's fine to use them on a home computer; but I wouldn't want to get caught putting any of them up on a public web-site.

That's a no-no.

Thanks em. Great stuff! I've always loved the cosmos. And as technology gets increasingly better, we can look at pics like that.

Those are very beautiful pics! I've come to the conclusion that there is a God. I don't want to go off on a tangent here, but there is no way anybody couldn't believe in a God with pics like those!

Emilly IM sorry to see you banned.

AS for the pic, VERY NICE.

Anyway, if ATS sess any sense they will reinstate you.

Much love E, much love!

laterz-

What a nice departure. Man, I bet she is going through ATS withdrawl right now!
Thanks mods, I was really getting burnt out reading her sky is falling etc, even though I knew it wouldn't be long before the hammer fell.What a relief! Did she breaks records for troll points in a short time?

I'm new here so..... Why did she get banned? And what are trolls? Please excuse my ignorance on the subject.

I just want to say I think its a shame that E got banned.

(U never know it might be you, or it might be ME!)-LOL

Anyway, I hope things get better.

As for something beautiful just look at life!
