There is very interesting cell or organism-like structure on movie id 912702V1

Weird! Here's (6381102V1) a much simpler but unusual pattern I don't remember seeing before - debris particles in an aerogel surface groove(?), but spaced almost equidistantly like tiny beads on a necklace (not a HAT, surely?):

Janusz,
It's a Sci Fi novel waiting to happen, mark my words! Alien life forms hidden in the arepgel and when released...what happens?!?

Mr. Smage,
Is HAT an anogram for something, or did I just miss something there?

Is HAT an anogram for something

Hi Nikita!

I think this refers to the High-Angle Track that we used to call a Low-Angle Track until the Berkeley gang straightened us out! Looks more like a lost necklace.......anyone?!?

Happy Dusting!

Yes. For whatever reason (I think it was sometime last August, see Tutorial 14) the team suddenly decided to confuse us by renaming what dusters had until then been informally calling 'Low-Angle' Tracks (i.e. those coming in close to the aerogel horizontal surface) as 'h.a.' or 'High-Angle' Tracks.

The team's preferred reference is obviously perpendicular to the surface, i.e. the direction from where interstellar as opposed to interplanetary or spacecraft collision debris impacts are most likely to come (always assuming correct orientation of the collector perpendicular to the interstellar stream, but that's another matter).
Hence we have the clumsy topic title 'High Angle Tracks - Formerly Low Angle Tracks.'

cthiker: not sure, but you may have been first to use the capitalized acronym* HAT here: http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ ... ght=#14330

*PS Nikita: I love your term 'anogram' (vs. 'anagram', let alone 'acronym'), which could have some interesting medical connotations!

Hi John,

Here is another set of beads running across from 100 to 100.

Bubble above the surface.

Something fell on their piano.

Hi John!

Thanks for the attribution, but it is not deserved - that honor actually goes to marcia who created a thread called "HAT's vs idp-tracks" a full 25 hours before my post!

See: http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ ... php?t=1918

However, I was wondering if this bout of honesty warrants bonus Spec/Sens points?? .........Bryan? ........Will?? .......ANYONE??

Aw, heck...it was worth a try!

Happy Dusting everyone!

[Nikita]

Jeff,

I'd award you a point or two, just on the effort!

Bouts and fits of honesty deserve extra points!

Here's an interesting one:

Frame from movie I didn’t like:


Movie 8262500V1 (calibration movie)

[jsmaje]

And now a jewellery shops-worth ofbeaded necklaces!



And another isolated one like the first posted above. All of these share the same SSW-NNE orientation (unlike fjgiie's horizontalexample), suggesting they may come from nearby areas of the same tile.

But how might they have formed? Some have a superficial resemblance to the ubiquitous chevron trails, but others not.

Interesting optical effect when scanning up and down the bars (also sporting a triple Larry yet single Curly!):

Hi fjgiie -- Makes you wonder what could possibly cause that.
