Newly released image of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko taken by Rosetta on 22 September 2014.

This image shows a portion of 67P/C-G as viewed by Rosetta on 22 September 2014, only one and a half months after the spacecraft had made its rendezvous with the comet. At the time, the spacecraft was 28.2 km from the comet centre (around 26.2 km from the surface). Amateur astronomer Jacint Roger Perez, from Spain, selected and processed this view by combining three images taken in different wavelengths by the OSIRIS narrow-angle camera on Rosetta.

Seen in the centre and left of the frame is Seth, one of the geological regions on the larger of the two comet lobes, which declines towards the smoother Hapi region on the comet’s ‘neck’ that connects the two lobes. The landscape in the background reveals hints of the Babi and Aker regions, both located on the large lobe of 67P/C-G.

The sharp profile in the lower part of the image shows the Aswan cliff, a 134 m-high scarp separating the Seth and Hapi regions. Observations performed by Rosetta not long before the comet’s perihelion, which took place on 13 August 2015, revealed that a chunk of this cliff had collapsed – a consequence of increased activity as the comet drew closer to the Sun along its orbit.

The images are of the Large Magellanic Cloud, so 160,000 light-years away.

So where is the Goa'uld home world in those images?
:hmmm:

Oh yeah, Nash Bridges car!! :up:

/\ I sat in that car which was parked on a South SF pier where I was the armed security standing over the cash box at a weekend public auto auction. The pier was shared by the Nash Bridges production company and no one objected when I asked. The show is still on every Wednesday! :yeah: Some years later, 2009-2010, I was security on SF's Treasure Island for the short-lived TV show Trauma. 30 taxis, 30 ambulances, 30 police cruisers, ten eighteen wheelers and particularly: 3 real flying helicopters and their fuel-truck were my sole lookout every night for a year. The Huey behind New Zealander Cliff Curtis was a particular favorite. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTQ0Mzg5NDQ3MV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMzAzMTY3Mg@@._ V1_.jpg The copter company owner, an ex Marine no-nonsense colonel and the 'copter pilots were extremely courteous the whole year long to their guard! Seeing shows get made from the wormseye view is more entertaining than the show itself! https://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/10900000/Cliff-Curtis-trauma-10958331-930-697.jpg< one of the the other 'copters. Since the City itself was reguarded as a 'character' the 'copters wer flown to the locations when not parked at Treasure island on the old Pan Am Clipper runway. The original 1937 hangershttps://www.opensfhistory.org/Image/700/wnp100.00420.jpg housed the show's massive interior hospital & firehouse set and also
the production carpentry, and production offices. The shoulder patch and 'copter logo is still on one of the historic hangers. https://c8.alamy.com/comp/CE98MA/angel-rescue-services-logo-on-building-CE98MA.jpg

Ram scoops in a car? Not really all that much manifold pressure benefit at such low speeds. I'll shut up now.

No I won't.

Just saw this shot from 268,563 miles out! In this image, Orion captures a unique view of Earth and the Moon, seen from a camera mounted on one of the spacecraft's solar arrays. https://media2.spaceref.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/28224549/52529813962_1e14afc3da_o.jpeg

This'll put the big 'E' in Eiffel!

Wow, what an amazing shot!

Although it looks like the bolt is going through the tower, I think it is actually behind the tower. It wouldn't make sense for the bolt to behave that way so close to the metal structure. But either way, the effect is stunning.

I'd always thought that the "Alexander Mosaic" found at Pompeii and displayed at Naples was found like that i.e. damaged, missing huge chunks. Turns out it was found intact, and some copies were painted before it was moved.

What happened afterwards??? is anyones guess, but now it's missing huge chunks.

I'm still digging into this but thought I'd share the complete picture, it's somewhat satisfying. :)

No graphic images of people murdered, blown up, dismembered, or similarly ripped up.THis one missed my "WE'RE so DEAD Thread"...by a chomp!https://www.animalsaroundtheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/maxresdefault-1200x675.jpeg.webp two kayakers experienced an event of a lifetime: being nearly swallowed by a humpback whale. Julie McSorley and Liz Cottriel were enjoying a day of whale watching off the coast of Avila Beach, California, when a massive humpback suddenly engulfed their kayak. Miraculously, both women escaped the encounter unharmed, and the kayakers and nearby witnesses captured the surreal moment on video.https://www.animalsaroundtheglobe.com/whale-swallows-two-kayakers/

YIPES! looking at old and somewhat dated fotos of legendary Studio 54's heyday, with celebrities letting it all hang out, I came across this classic of Dolly Parton horsin' around: https://authorspick.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/A-Farm-Themed-Night-to-Remember.jpg:yeah::Kaleun_Thumbs_Up::Kaleun_Party:
