Good evening.......as Alfred Hitchcock used to say
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Another good evening. My ass is waking up and going back to work in 7 hours. Life is still good.
Drinking a few beers. Getting a badly needed buzz.
Drinking a few beers. Getting a badly needed buzz.
Is there a reason why someone chose to bring up all the old D league threads. Are they trying cause some sort of fight? I personally like this one. No one has ran me off yet so I guess you guys and gals deem me ok....at least I'm telling myself that.
No problem from here
Anything new?
Hot shower......no blarts......legume free diet last night and today
4th new beer. Old lady also asks me the same. Man, I just had a tough week and it is not over. Crashing after this one. This lead job is wearing my 54 year-old ass out.
This afternoon as I commuted via 400, I-85 South, on the 400 to I-85 exit I saw this car parked at a weird angle, driver's side door open (I actually thought the driver had crashed) with not a soul in sight. I figure the driver had some kind of intestinal emergency, but ......... I'll never know. I did chuckle a little, Poor guy/gal.
Science Break:
The raw material to create stars for millions of years is captured in this stunning photo. Located in the constellation Vulpecula, or Little Fox.The region (pictured here in infrared wavelengths) births some of the biggest stars in the galaxy. These gigantic O and B type stars have much more mass than the sun, up to 16 times more for B stars and up to a staggering 100 times more for O stars, and their lives are significantly shorter for it.
(click image to expand)
These stars last only a few million years before exhausting their fuel, collapsing and exploding as supernovas, triggering the next batch of stellar births in the region. Because they are so short-lived, the presence of a large number of them in one place signals intense ongoing star formation. The interesting part of this image is that the filaments of glowing interstellar gas seen here as red and orange threads are part of a vast, structured web that stretches across all of the galaxy's star-forming regions

Wonder what the image of our area seen from far away looks like?

Looking back at us from there you would see less red and orange and more bright white dots.
Correct me if I'm wrong caftan, but those white dots would be the fully developed stars of the Milky Galaxy, would they not? And if you were far enough away, wouldn't the entire galaxy appear to be a white blob?
Your not wrong. Depending on distance you are observing from. Vulpecula, in the photo, is in the Milky Way. It is 297 light years (relatively close) away from us.
That IS pretty close for a space place. Most are farther away than that.
The Milky Galaxy...![[laughing]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/laugh.r191677.gif "Laughing [laughing]")
That's how it got its name. Ancient Romans called it "Via Lacteal" meaning milky patch. They got it from the ancient Greeks who named it "Galaxias Kyklos" meaning milky circle.
Hey guys one of those white dots is me waving my white UK hat with blue letters. Come on, FCC.
- Did you study the stars while obtaining a degree in same?
- Minor?
- How long have you been an Astronomer?
- Where did you get the pictures?
just got home

They are watching 55 convert that steam table to a gas grill in the middle so that he can make a table for each end for his BGEs.
That would be handy Don. Can't wait to get started on mine.
That view reminds me a little of my freshman year in college. Got drunk for the first time on Bacardi 151 and Mountain Dew. When I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes -flashing stars rotating in circles........we didn't have to spend all that money on Hubble
Just buy me a couple of bottles of rum
Rum got me through high school. Proud to say I finished in the top 65% of my class. Got a diploma and everything.
Good morning and Happy National Made in the USA Day.
A nice 66 degrees this morning. Commencing coffee momentarily in porch.
Weather has been exceptional this week. Albeit we are getting very dry.
Golfing today. ATC I'll be at Shady Hollow near Nolin Lake.

It's funny having southern accents and thick New York Italian accents in the same room.
I hope I can score some fresh KY wonder green beans and silver queen corn while I'm there

I've been in this depot many times. I never saw that Rick Pitino fella though.
I tried to do this to my pool.....I just could not hold my breathe long enough...

Been there once.
Have fun. Sure wish I could visit Nolin Lake this weekend.
Okay, data center work complete for now. I report back tomorrow afternoon at 6 PM.
