Dusty Gilligan's Island Universe


Hubble Deep Field - Definitely Click This One


Flaming Star Nebula, (Not to be confused with the Flaming Queen Nebula of the San Francisco Constellation)





Firework Galaxy, Maybe the universe is countless fireworks going off in agonizingly slow motion.




That Crazy Orion Again




Well, there are only 10 trillion more galaxies to explore !

    We'll be here a while. I should have brought a lunch.

    1. Ed, I'm trying to work a deal with Ms Z to cater lunches for us all. Funds are low though so maybe I'll do a GoFundMe page and have it read something like "Hi, I'm an FBI Criminal with 11 million freaking dollars, would you please send me money for my legal defense?" I expect to be raking it in.

      In the meantime, we are taking menu item requests. Anything on the michele obama school lunch menu will be summarily rejected as a matter of good policy.

    2. BANQUET CELESTIEL

      _____ LE MENU _____

      Chilled Vichysoisse.

      Steamed artichokes vinaigrette served chilled in glass bowls with extra dressing

      Freshly baked baguettes split lengthwise richly buttered and filled moderately with Prosciutto, Brie, Swiss Cheese and a very few crumbles of Rocquefort cheese.

      Salad of mixed baby field greens with cucumbers, grape tomatoes, chopped green pepper, a fews toasted sugared pecans dressed with freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive iil and a soupcon of fresh pureed garlic.

      A selection of French pastries, some lemon or raspberry sorbet

      Cappuccino or Espresso

      I, personally, don't drink alcohol, but if wine is wanted, I highly recommend chilled Pouilly Fuissé imported from France.

      Bon Appétit, mes amis!

    5. Z could produce it for us. That lady is a fantastic cook.

  2. Kid,

    These Explorations you present Into Outer Space, while fascinating, tend to make me feel that I have no more significance than an atom of PLANKTON at best.

    HUMBLING is what it is.

    Yet, all of us are PART of the Cosmos. It wouldn't be what it is –– whatever that may be –– if we didn't exist. God must have put us here for SOME purpose, but it's been the work of AEONS –– countless thousands of years –– even to BEGIN to learn what that purpose might be, –– and STILL we don't know much of all there is to know, do we?.

    I've always liked like this maxim:

    LIFE is a MYSTERY to be LIVED –– NOT a PROBLEM to be SOLVED,

    That appeared on a Greeting Card more than sixty years ago, believe it or not. The author remains unknown.

    1. I like that maxim about life. Yes, sometimes we are not even a grain of sand and other times larger than life for what we may provide to others. I'm happy in either role.

  3. That's a lot of space, but let's break it down . The Brain Nebula appears to be under attack from a liberal dust cloud of media, hollywood and schools on the frontal cortex. A daily reading of the Kid's Diary is the only cure from this disease. Gilligan and crew are now on a 10 million light-year tour. The Hubble Deep Field reveals the cosmos still has their Christmas lights hanging in April. Little known fact: The flamboyant Flaming star used to be a male nebula before it underwent nebula reassignment surgery. The Fireworks Galaxy lost a few fingers but is still lighting it up. That Crazy Orion is still painting with pastels and using a soothing Bob Ross voice-over as it puts in each big, beautiful star. That covers it, except for my lunch order.

    1. Lol. Perfect analysis DaBlade. The brain is under attack, but will survive intact as it creates massive blue stars to blow the libs away with their powerful solar winds.

  4. I wish I REALLY understood where/what all this is, but it SURE IS BEAUTIFUL. I mean, I KNOW it's 'in the skies' but........it's all so different, so colorful, obviously not visible to the naked eye...(Kid, I hope I didn't throw you off by saying 'naked':)!! HA!
    they truly are SO gorgeous...amazing.

    1. Z, I like naked eyes. :)

      Well, The big bang was an indescribably large amount of material being ejected from an indescribably small pin prick of nothingness, resulting in the material being thrust out and creating what we call the universe. It is all still traveling away from the pin prick of space. As time progresses, the laws of physics, theory of relativity, etc cause the material to mainly coalesce into stars which then blow up (supernova) and thrust the material back into space, creating nebulae, to once again coalesce into stars. I think it is cool that Gold can only come from the intense gravity of a star, then be thrust out into space by a supernova event to land on the Earth so crusty old guys with donkeys can dig the stuff up. Now they're saying it only comes from two neutron stars colliding and blowing up. So gold comes from sex between two neutron stars? Well, anything is possible.

    2. you're a very sick man :-)

      GOLD comes from WHAT? ]Neutrons??

      Delete
    3. Z, What? Heh? Exsqueeze me? Baking my powdwer? :-) What is wrong with eyes? We all have naked eyes. (You should see mine !) Well, gold comes from massive gravitational forces. You know, like a couple anti-Trump uglies working at the FBI sending 50,000 texts and sextexts to each other of the course of 3 months? I think they were texting each other while they were actually having sex.

  5. Yes, I’m Back, but there is something that I would like to suggest to ALL my fellow blogers.
    Please disconcert the portion in your profile that calls for the Verification of the commentor by asking to click on Cars, Bus’es, Store Fronts, Street Sighs, or whatever.
    This gets people very frustrated and makes then Not Want To Post On Your Blog at all.
    I’m sure that you know what I mean. So kindly do it and I will do so in return
    Thank You

    1. Profile/Verification? No idea what that means.

    2. All the years I've blogged and commented, I've only seen that ridiculous thing ONCE...have you seen it a lot? They are really a pain, you're right.

    3. Z, I still don't know about the 'ridiculous thing'.

  6. Shouldn't we be talking about President Trump's decision to strike Syria?

    Would it help if we simply ASSASSINATED Assad –– FORGET whther it's LEGAL or not. Would it HELP?

    ReplyDelete
  7. Do you think Mr. Trump is involving us in yet-another pointless, unwinnable war?

    If so, how does it affect your opinion of his presidency?

    1. Well, in my mind we are there to take out ISIS, good thing, and deal with an internationally condemned practice of using chemical weapons - not sure we're in a war with Syria there. I think we could declare ISIS dead and leave anytime.
