Thanks Wolter!!

Groundling - Ya beat me!

:D :D :D ...and a hearty "Welcome!" to Eleanor Rose!!! Thought I'd give everyone a forum to send their best (as I know we all want to)... We in the Stardust@home team would like to offer our congratulations to Dr. Anna Butterworth and her husband Matt Paul on the birth of their daughter El...

Hi, I'm new :wink: There's some very bright 'thing' in the top-left corner that immediatly looks out of place. Not just becasue its so bright but because it shifts in the wrong direction to the rest. Hi, pepperammi , and welcome! I've seen this before on several VMs, and it appears that the bright ...

How did you get a piece in the first place? You may want to check out this thread... http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=147 I got some small pieces myself, as noted, and Sharqua is right, it crumbles very easily. I had one tiny piece that I squeezed a little too hard and i...

Hey Wolter -

Just in case you dropped it, I found your brush...

Just be careful picking it out - don't want to damage any of the aerogel!



Happy Dusting!!

Here's an interesting one :shock: (somewhat related to the "acting like a piece of glass" discussion above) - it has a high degree of reflectivity on the various inclusions, but some of them appear to be deeper in the aerogel than just the typical "surface" stuff... http://stardu...

Aerogel is available commercially in the United States, but it is EXTREMELY expensive. Martin - you may want to see other posts on aerogel, such as... http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=147 ...or search the forum for "aerogel" and "buy". Bottom line, th...

Per Wolter's suggestion (and Sharqua's interest!), see the following topic...

Hope that helps!!!

I have a question that's off the trivia mark but it's been bothering me. I was reading about black holes in the centers of galaxies and how they prohibit star formation. In the article it said that as a black hole grows, the host galaxy grows. How can both grow? I think it might have something to d...

First, there are fascinating mathmatical methods by which systems can 'learn' to identify infinitely complexe multi-demensional patterns. The model I studied in school is Bayes-ian learning, developed by a Dr. Bayes some 70 or so years ago. It does require a person to 'hand hold' it through a learn...

I found this interesting. ... http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/myevents_viewer.php?id=611433V1 ... The thing that appears in the very top left corner seems to have disturbed aerogel above it, and it has the center white spot and almost a circle of black that the tracks have... (Just IMHO...) ...

Talk about insult to injury... First there's the "inclusion confusion" challenge, then my only event looked at thus far by the Team is a whiff, and now the VMs are even getting into the act - sticking their tongue out at me!! :cry: http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/myevents_viewer.php...

- You see a fallen rubber band on the carpet and you gasp, point your finger, and say "Click!" :D Funny posts, everyone - the levity is truely appreciated. (I was confused by Dustbuster 's "hcetigoL" emblazoned on his palm - don't understand why mine says "ORCIM snoitavonni&...

Hi Guichovelas! I have been viewing some movies and I believe I could have found something else, but it might be a lot better to include the first "real" movies with particles into de calibration movies?? You may want to take a look at Dr. Anna B's latest comments... http://stardustathome....
