I love the first pic. That's so awesome.

Anyone heard anything about Voyager 2 having problems?

Link I saw posted elsewhere was busted.

You're going to turn this into a tradition, Max.

Holy cow Tyche, that first one is phenomenal. Try to get out there around 3amish one night and see if you can snap a picture of the bands on the Milky way Get Regan into Cosmos love mode with you, kids have a natural curiosity and affinity for things like that and for a girl, it makes it that much more awesome. You may end up sparking a life long love of astronomy that can literally carry her to the moon and beyond.

Speaking of the arms of our galaxy, if you ever get a chance to see them, it will be something you will never ever forget in your lifetime. My daughter and I use a telescope and have seen them. Keep up the pictures man, those are awesome. I see you posted them on FB as well, im going to keep checking and bugging you now lol.

What specs? I live ridiculously close to the city (although I grew up closer to Boston than we are now) and have a completely obstructed view of anything but an office park, but I hope to one day have a better situation for stargazing.

Because Voyager 2 is so far from Earth, it takes 13 hours for a message to reach the spacecraft and another 13 hours for responses to come back to NASA's Deep Space Network of listening

I can only imagine how painful it must be to work on this. It's like programming on a really really shitty computers, but worse.

Actually, voyager is already 30 years old, so it is a really shitty computers with a huge lag.

Maybe NASA should invest in a defragmenting.

Also, I'm curious. If you entangled two particles and separated them, would you be able to say, vibrate it or make it emit something measurable without measuring the particle itself and collapsing its waveform function? It just seems like if you could use something to influence a particle without it collapsing, the other should mimic that and become sort of like a instant phone, right? But then again, quantum physics isn't my forte. ;;

Like maybe entangle two super tiny magnets and then use another magnetic field to flip one particle's position or something, and the other one's magnetic field would flip as well, which you can then measure that field without disrupting the magnet's entanglement itself?

We have several, but her and I have one that is really special that I got for us this past Christmas, its a Celestron 9" cgem 800 telescope. Its computerized and all so it is pretty pricey, but I don't recall the MSRP but I got a discount since I am an active member of the Planetary society, it was an investment that has payed off tenfold in just these past few months.

My daughter has a 8" VMC200 that was sent to her as a birthday gift from Neil deGrasse Tyson and is signed by him, how bad ass is that shit? We use it but we like to keep it pristine due to the 'dopeness' in which we got it. On a cool note, he invited my family to NY this summer and we have FIVE weeks before we head there and get to meet him at the Hayden planetarium. :DDDDD

Edit: Found my original post about the telescope from after her birthday.

Any time the particle is measured in any way, the wavefunction collapses. so there's no way you could do something measurable without affecting both particles. So, no, you wouldn't be able to do any of this.

You definitely can.

I did some research on photographing the milky way. I hve all the needed equipment save a remote timer which I'll try to order this week. I do need something fairly essential however. I need to know of a site/software that will be able to tell me the time and horizon of the band. I'm going to try to drive to my dads a couple counties away and shoot where I know there's little to no light in a 10 mile radius. It's apparently very difficult to photograph with even the slightest bit of light polution.

[Mizango]

Yes it is, but I am interested in seeing what comes from your venture into this arena. I look forward to it man.

I'm no fan of cell phones, crazy I know.


I was more trying to suss out if Miz or anyone with more interesting sources than google had any news btw, but thanks for the stereotyped response, K-dawg.

[Mizango]

Damn Max my bad, I didnt even see that post until now

[Max™]

Well, it was just last night, I think, kinda fuzzy headed atm.

Been unable to sleep comfortably, mowed the lawn yesterday, went to adjust the wheel height and lightly touched the (zomgwtfhot) muffler on accident with the first joint of my middle finger, so it keeps throbbing each time I move... didn't think I'd find a way to sleep without resting my fingers on anything/them falling asleep.

[Mizango]

Ouch.
