A couple of nFA's resources

Post by pakarinen »


A couple of resources nFA would would link to:

https://aasnova.org/category/highlights/
https://phys.org/space-news/

And one I use now and then:

We at the moment don't have someone systematically posting the astrophysics articles from phys.org where most of his links came from. Maybe we can spread it out amongst usual visitors to the subforum such as Gmetric, ThinkerX, Skyhiker, etc. if we want to maintain how nFA approached the topics. But then again maybe now it can be a bit different.

I didn’t notice this thread until now, is there something I’m doing “ wrong” and or can I be more “ helpful” in how I’m posting or what I’m posting ?
I’ve already had one “dust up”and certainly don’t want another one so thank you in advance. Frank

Nope I think you're fine. Dust ups sort of come with the territory in the astrophysics subforum. Sort of need a sense of humor I guess to get through it. Also we need more folks posting in that area so thanks for your participation!

Thank you so much , I certainly don’t want to ruffle anyones feathers, I just post things that I find interesting and or of use and if I think it’s interesting I’m sure other will enjoy it and that’s my way of participating.

Hearing that from you means everything to me my friend !
Had a great time last night, finally a clear night with a late rising moon,I saw the biggest gas cloud ever!
It was somewhere near Vega but I lost my way ( yet again) so not sure exactly where but it was amazing the size!😳😁
