Astronomy Club: Discussion

Apply Here

Check out our new banner! =]

So, I've been thinking, you know that question on the application that asks if you could be anything in the universe what you be and why? Well, some of you have given really great answers, and all of your answers leave me curious as to why you picked what you picked. So, tell us here what you would be and why. Be as elaborate as you want, I'd really like to know. This could get very interesting. =]

And discuss with others also! I'm sure you'll have comments on what someone else has said.

Get discussing! I want to hear what you have to say. ;]

Supernova. To everything there must be an end, and dammit when I go down I WANT TO TAKE AS MUCH AS I CAN WITH ME.

lol! That was the funniest thing I've heard all day. Granted it's been a very depressing day, but it lifted my mood so... yeah. *cough* I think you're right about everything having an end.

Is that the only reason you want to be an exploding star? =P

Glad to have made someone smile.

Uhm. That's the biggest reason I can think of. But, also, in being a supernova- it's not an end, it's a beginning to other stars, comets, meteors, black holes *MWHAHA*...

In that "death" there is birth and rebirth if the conditions are right, could it not vaccuum back together, re-heat and become a star again after its hissy? We don't know for sure, but that's an awe-inspiring theory.

don't some supernovae turn into dwarfs of some sort? the kind that are often found with the leeching partner dwarf? I'm really straining to remember my astronomy classes here. :P I wish i hadn't given my text books to my stepbrother when he took the course after me. (Wait...I may have the BETTER book still...unless my little brother is borrowing it)

I'm 5-foot-tall. I have a 2 year old. I'm already a dwarf with another body caught in my gravity.

*snorts&giggles*

that was a fantastic pun!

[rocknrollpixie.livejournal.com]

Hehe I'm 5 foot as well!
*tiny rules!*

A nebula definitely!
Ever since you had that nebula activity I've been hooked on them! I'm not going to pretend I understand them exacty... only basically... but still, wow! They're so cool and pretty and a little bit mystical I think. They're so awe inspiring and makes you realise just how tiny and insignificant we are in the scope of the whole universe. I'm not saying I'm particularly like that as a person but I would be if I could choose!

I completely agree. I love nebulas because they are absolutely gorgeous. I also like the idea that the beginnings of planets and stars can come from a nebula cloud. I am a big history buff and I the thought of being involved in the creation of new things qould be really great.

I know, I love the mystery of the whole thing and the idea that it is the beginning of something so huge and immense!

I put the aurora borealis. It used to be considered the thing that marked the edge of the world. What it really is is solar winds colliding with particles in our atmosphere. But it's beautiful, and many people have looked on it with fascination and joy. The aurora borealis or "Northern Lights" has been an obsession of mine for quite some time now. Because they are caused by something so small, something so insignificant, but there are many, many tales of lore circling the globe about them, and many people travel to see them each year. They are the subject of art and photography and even the inspiration for some music like "The Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen" (it's Scottish).

It's a right fine banner!

[lariren-shadow.livejournal.com]

That is a good answer. I like that. Well, that is cool. Have you ever seen them? I cam also kind of obsessed with them. At least when I got to see them and then when I was in the astronomy units in school. There is also one in the southern hemespher right?

And wonderful banner!

[keristars.livejournal.com]

Well, as best as I can remember from my courses, aurora borealis occur because of the magnetic field around the earth. It's like a donut, with the 'hole' at the poles. The aurora borealis occur because of a type of energy - magnetic waves, I think? - rushing at the earth and being forced to conform to the donut shape. I think. But the magnetic waves mostly go from N to S, so I don't have a clue if you can see the phenomena in the southern hemisphere.

[lariren-shadow.livejournal.com]

I think that there is one in the southern hemesphere. Its called the Australia borealis(well, somehting with Australia in it). It would make sense then with the waves. Cause they are starting to why not at the bottom too where they start.

:o that's a great answer!
One of the things I have on my 'list of things to do before I'm 30' is to see the Northern Lights. I think they're so awe inspiring!

Awesome banner by the way ;)

[lariren-shadow.livejournal.com]

I can't remember what I put, but I think I would like to be a nebuela. I would get to create new stars and the gasses are really pretty colors. And is why for me. Bad I know.

I don't think that was on the app when I did it. *scratches head* So now I have to think of something!

Actually, I don't have to think hard. I'd like to be a photon, I think. So very very small, but so fast, and moving everywhere. Photons never disappear, they just move more. They get trapped within stars, then are expelled and made into parts of planets or space-dust or comets or asteroids or moons or other stars - I mean, it'd be pretty cool, yeah? To go from the innards of a star to the empty depths between galaxies, all the way to the end of the universe. It'd be pretty neat.

[rocknrollpixie.livejournal.com]

And everything in existence would depend on you!
...oh the responsibility!

Pixie // Hufflepuff

[coaltrain-613.livejournal.com]

I would probably one big giant planet...i always felt a connection with the eath so why not be one...I mean how cool would it be to have trees, animals, and people that you literally control I mean your in control of the weather, earthquakes, landslides, where its gonna be hot/cold sunny or dark...now thats power!

[rocknrollpixie.livejournal.com]

Which planet is your favourite?
Do you have a favourite or a special one you'd like to be? Or would you prefer to be an undiscovered planet?

Pixie // Hufflepuff

[coaltrain-613.livejournal.com]

i always like jupiter and saturn but thats also because of an inner obsession with sailor moon and those characters...**oh wellz**

but an undiscover planet would be awesome...with its own life forms and troubles and such...my people better be hippies or i'll punish them**FEEL MY PLANETS WRATH**

i said a comet cuz lets face it, they are super cool looking! They are pretty i get to have a tail and what else gets like thousands of people outside starring at the sky at the same time then comets! and i would also get to travel through all the reaches of space but it wouldnt take me AS long cuz im just zooming by in all my coolness!

[rocknrollpixie.livejournal.com]

I'm a primary school teacher and on the class laptop I put a screen saver of a comet going across the screen.

I was trying to teach them about multiplication and I thought they were all being very quiet and attentive, then I realised they weren't even looking at me, they were so mesmerised by my comet screen saver!

[sandygurl-31.livejournal.com]

aawww!!! that is so cute and funny! hahaha oh what it would be like to be a comet!

an event horizon because it is the closest you can get to a black hole before being sucked in by its immense gravitational force.
