I love this site too, I found it about a year ago and some of the photos are just so incredibly beautiful, there is just something about deep space that's really magical. I particularly like this photo from yesterday, it's called Frosted Leaf Orion: Here's the description: Sometimes, you can put some night sky in your art. Captured above Japan earlier this month, a picturesque night sky was photographed behind a picturesque frosted leaf. The reflecting ice crystals on the leaf coolly mimic the shining stars far in the background. The particular background sky on this 48-second wide angle exposure, however, might appear quite interesting and familiar. On the far left, although hard to find, appears a streaking meteor. Below and to the right of the meteor appears a longer and brighter streak of an airplane. The bright star on the left is the dog-star Sirius, the brightest star on the night sky. To Sirius' right appears the constellation of Orion, including the three linear belt stars below the red giant Betelgeuse. The bright patch of light further to the right is the Pleiades open star cluster. Similar views including the constellation Orion can be seen above much of the northern hemisphere for the next several months, although you might have to provide your own leaf.
Anyway, the word Betelgeuse leapt out at me ( I think it reminded me of Milton's cryptic comment. ;D) so I decided to find out a little bit more about Betelgeuse. It's a huge, huge star, 1000 times bigger than our sun yet it is cooler. It's 600 light years away, and aparently it's going to go super nova soon errr...ish. You learn something new every day! ;D

Sorry i deleted the question i was asking I was hoping that some of the members on this forum could explain to me whether we humans are TRAPPED ON THIS PLANET due to the Van Allen Belts ? I know the americans tried to BLOW a hole in the belts with a nuclear weapon to try and create a corridor but that it didnt work and it was said it created a new belt which was EVEN STRONGER than the original one Also i have read that NO COUNTRY has sent man more than 400 MILES away from earth for the last god knows how many years and im assuming its because of the Van Allen Belts !!! Im aware of the fact that technologys may exist which i know nothing about like Anti grav etc but putting that aside if the belts are DEADLY to humans then im right in assuming we are TRAPPED HERE PLEASE SOMEONE ENLIGHTEN ME ?

I also saw that picture the other day Eevee, and...wow! Really nice depth to it as well as an understated warmth. The sparkle on the leaf and in the sky draw an irresistible comparison! Thanks for linking this site to the mesageboard Lou These pictures are a great way to start the day

Humans are confined here on earth. But so what, this planet is large and sufficient for most. Make the best of your time here on the rock and real freedom will be in your future. Humans can be taken off this rock for short periods of time by ET abductions. Some humans, a few, are allowed to travel to certain places in this solar system via human space programs if they get a hall pass .

;DThanks lou i kind of thought that was the case !!!
it just all seems to be a bit to perfect .....
like someone knew we would be able to break orbit eventually but then we run smack into the van allen belts i wander if other planets like earth are surrounded by similar belts .....

John stated that we cannot go beyond this point due to the massive radiation levels as being one factor why we can't leave. Another thing is that I don't think we as a race haven't earned the travel pass to other systems and civilisations because we aren't spiritually evolved enough. I think we need to review how we treat each other, our environment and other living creatures as the damage to GAIA we are doing is unsustainable. What say you? Should we be allowed to join other races?

So NASA trys to blow a hole in the belts obviously in the hope of making it easier for us to travel to other places .....which begs the point APOLLO ZERO it just couldn't of happened i mean all the evidence points to it being a massive lie me myself i think they went into orbit but i dont think they went to the moon.....
