Yeah that is great!
And now imagine the sun is also in a spiral like the planets you see here, and then is our cluster of galaxies also in motion relative to others
So BAM let us bath in Aether now
I want to be in the spaceship that’s running circles around the entire Solar System!!
That animation takes a moment to “sink in”, but it’s awesome. Thanks!

Sharpie:
We may yet have “Boaty McBoatface”
(Well it will always be thought of as that, despite the boring name chosen)
Very true
I think Boaty McBoatface has started a new trend that won’t be easy to shake

I heard about the research vessel and the public vote… but what the heck? Is that a reference to SpongeBob Square-pants or something??

Nope, it just leads back to the internet poll about the research vessel. I’m sure it’s more than random, it has a childish sponge-bob sound to it.

I was sure this thread was titled “flat dark earth people” I thought it was going to be about the colour. Fun thread though.
Well, here in Dunedin, NZ, a new albatross chick was born a couple of weeks ago.
The name mooted was ‘Birdy McBirdface’. I almost shot myself upon hearing that.

On the DOC website, it reads: “This chick is far too royal for Birdy McBirdface!”.
Hmm, Master Birdface, King Birdface , Prince Birdface
People are free to suggest, but that’s just a ridiculous name :person_facepalming:
Having seen those massive birds up close, that’s the last name I would call them !

In the end BoatyMcBoatface is a ridiculous name, but it would have been funny
BTW there is now ParsyMcParseface
But red bull gives you wings
Oh god ! It’s getting worse !
Yes. ‘nominal aphasia’.
Because I really wish I didn’t understand half the crap I read on the net.
SWMBO & I bought a Shakespearean Ski Boat.
She christened it “MidSummerDazeWetDream”…
The urge to PUNish is strong in that one!
