Comet PanSTARRS (C/2017 K2) Through my Telescope!

nice

Very cool, Thanks!

Pawn Stars is a good show

Thanks Astro :)

Looks more like a meatier

.


…a beef meatier.

Neat---Thanks.

Cool! But I have a question AstroMut. Don't comets ALWAYS have tails? I don't see one on this one, unless it is behind it. Serious question. I love to learn! :-)

Swamp flare and gas lens.

Dumb ass, that’s a geese.

Awesome!

Hey Astro, when will the JWT start looking at some exo-planets?

Will NASA inform the public about it's findings?

If it looks like a geese...walks like a geese...quacks like a geese

Awesome! Thanks for that :)

The reason there is so many people that claim nasa are liars and space is fake is because cosmology is so broken.

I dont know how often I meet a scientist that still claims the CMB is a real thing, they dont know that it was never observed at L2 and never will be because that signal comes form the water here on earth, there is no evidence of the big bang, and there is no evidence of the cosmic microwave background, Dr Robitallie has proven this over and over again.

Its absurd anyway to think you can somehow pick of the weak signals of the big bang through ALL the other radio signals coming from other galaxies etc its like trying to do an xray in front of the melted down reactor of Chernobyl

Thanks Astro! :)

Always spot on!

Wait a second.
I was told space was fake.
And it definitely has no soundtrack.

Not sure how far out it is. But its moving. Is this a faster than most comet? Or pretty much the same. I know its a hour in seconds btw. But still seems fast or close.

It's not particularly close, the motion is pretty standard for a long period comet approaching the sun.

Scientists find all the building blocks for life in space rocks.

They were always there but had alluded science until this year when a refined method used in Genetic and Pharmacology research revealed all five key building blocks of DNA and RNA.

"Astrochemist Daniel Glavin at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center said, "We've completed the set of all bases found in DNA and RNA and life on Earth, and they're present in meteorites," according to ScienceNews.

Previous research on the same rocks failed to detect all the pyramidines and purines found in DNA and RNA. Since the 1960s, researchers have been able to detect only parts of the five nucleobases -- adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine and uracil.

In the new study, researchers at Hokkaido University in Sapparo, Japan joined astrochemists at NASA to implement a milder extraction technique, used in genetic and pharmaceutical research, to keep the compounds intact. The technique was 100 times more sensitive and was able to detect small amounts of nucleobases."

Nice job as usual, Astro.

Five (5) stars for a GLP thread that isn't Fake News.

R.

What are we seeing to the East almost straight up? It is super bright and looks like it has tiny lights coming off of it???

Sounds like Jupiter and its moons.
