Ratting you out
by jcarman6＠q.com 05 May '13

Enough is enough Allred, I'm ratting you out to NASA. They should know you are stealing Hubble photographs and posting them as your own on your website. humph. interacting galaxies indeed. Far too much detail with just a simple 12.5 astrograph of your own construction. Obviously NASA needs to haul your butt to a federal prison in Alaska - make that the north pole. Note, not antartica where you could get your grubby little astrograph on the southern skies. humph humph and more humph.

New Image from Nocturne Observatory - NGC3718 and Lots of Friends
by Tyler Allred 05 May '13

05 May '13

Hi all. It is galaxy season and I have been working on several galaxy images at once. This is the first of this group that is ready to post. It shows NGC3718, NGC3729, the Hickson 56 group of interacting galaxies, and a bunch of other more distant galaxies. If you have any interest, take a look at the link below. Be sure to click the image a couple of times to get to the full version. It is worth taking a moment to look around at all the smaller galaxies, which are scattered all around the image. Cheers, Tyler LINK: http://www.allred-astro.com//viewer.php?id=121 <http://www.allred-astro.com/viewer.php?id=121&cat=1&sub=99> &cat=1&sub=99

Tonight
by Chuck Hards 03 May '13

03 May '13

The Clear Sky Chart for Stansbury isn't looking good from sunset until after 11:00 PM, so I'm not going to take my solar setup out there before the star party if the sky isn't cooperating. But I'll head out anyway in the hopes of getting my refreshers done on the Ealing and Grim, even if we can't see the stars.

I haven't been posting my ISON images lately because there really hasn't been much to show. But tonight the seeing is very good and ISON's tiny tail is showing: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/C_2012_S1.2013MAY02.JPG patrick

Who Discovered the Speed of Light
by baxman2＠q.com 01 May '13

01 May '13

Seth, I stand corrected on who and when the speed of light, as a specific finite speed, was first discovered. Interesting enough Aristotle stated the speed of light was a finite speed. But he didn’t state what that speed was.

Speed of Light Expansion due to reduced vacuum Permittivity
by baxman2＠q.com 01 May '13

01 May '13

James Clerk Maxwell discovered the speed of light in his 19th century research. He expressed it as 1 over the square root of (vacuum permeability time’s vacuum permittivity). These vacuum properties can be reduced in the presence of negative energy. This negative energy is defined in terms of a lack of zero-point-energy vacuum fluctuations. This condition does exist in a space known as a casimir cavity. This means it is possible to expand the speed of light to be faster then c. An article related to this can be found in Marcel Urban, François Couchot, Xavier Sarazin, Arache Djannati-Atai. The quantum vacuum as the origin of the speed of light. The European Physical Journal D, 2013; 67 (3) DOI: 10.1140/epjd/e2013-30578-7
