+Doc Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Lets have a little competition, no prizes but the winner will have the pleasure of knowing that there's have been used in this forum. Most forums have user ranks and post counts something like: 0-100 you become a nebula 100-200 you become a proto star You get the idea so the competition is to be as original as possible. The counts are: 0-10 10-100 100- 500 500-1000 1000-2000 2000-3000 3000-4000 4000-5000 5000-6000 6000-7000 7000-8000 8000-9000 9000-10000 10000-12500 12500-15000 15000-20000 This will be open for about a month. Best of luck guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kheldar Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 How about the list of closest stars? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_stars So 0-10 would be Alpha Centauri(an?) 10-100 would be Barnard's Star ...

Brantuk Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 How about telescopes - start with something naff like a 45 quid scope from Jessops - half way along you work up to an RC Astrograph - and at the end wind up with Hubble or VLT lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 The meeting for the approval of funding for the new European Extremely Large Telescope was this week, not heard if it is to go ahead, but it was expected to pass. Apparently it will have an area which is greater than all the others put together, with a 800 adaptive optic mosaic mirror, which will be 40 meters in diameter. That will be impressive.
