Andromeda Galaxy - High Resolution Interactive

January 23 2015
As you've probably heard, the Hubble Space Telescope took a very high resolution photograph of the Milky Way's closest neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy.

This link will take you to an interactive, zoomable and pan-able version of the image. The sheer detail comes to life as it streams to your computer like google earth does when you zoom in. To say i was taken aback after zooming in fully at any region of the image is an understatement, for those grainy pixels are not just noise.

No words...

Astronomy Journalist Phil Plait wrote:

"When I first saw this image, I was seriously impressed by its size. Andromeda is huge, as wide as four or five full Moons across the sky (a viral image from 2014 makes that pretty clear). But it looked odd to me, speckly, like a digital image taken in low light conditions, where noisy pixels make the image look grainy. I knew that couldn’t be the case; Andromeda is bright, and the exposure times from Hubble would assure a high-quality image.

I had a sneaking suspicion what I was seeing, but I had to download the high-res image to be sure.

Those weren’t noisy pixels. Those were freaking stars."

guild invite?

January 23 2015
There are several different servers in the game. Ours is called "Harbinger" and that''s where our guild exists. If you're playing on another server you won't be able to join our guild unless you create a new character on the harbinger server. Your login screen should tell you what server you'r character's on.

I have no idea what you mean by "what server" and by faction I'm guessing you mean I'm a Jedi Guardian...? Thanks

I'm a recent new addition to the STO fleet, and I'm wondering if someone could also invite me to the SWTOR guild? My name there is Ryyas, or just tell me who to find in game and I'll search for you there :) Thank you!

The possibility of this happening is exactly why I relented and Bought the pre-order at the start. It will be good to get back to my sorceror :)

Have to admit though that when I did play it the time gates did keep screaming at me that it was all set up for B2P from the start.

I'm still rolling the overall changes in my mind. I like the direction that it's going and may have more feedback later. But initially, there's some minor things.


we can not exclude the most vulnerable part of our community, that being under eighteens.

"that being under eighteens" I'm sure most understand the lines intent but it's a tad odd in word usage. I'd suggest ", those under eighteen."


Sometimes being in a leadership position can be trying but we will not allow this to effect our behaviour.

I believe that effect should be affect. Also, people in the UK spell it: behaviour?


Sometimes dealing with people from all of the world

Should this read "Sometimes dealing with people from all over the world"?

Read this over folks, it takes merely a minute or two of your time!

I think it's simple and easy enough to understand. Looks good to me!

First all LGBT School in History

January 21 2015
In my country there are so called integration schools where healthy kids and kids with light disabilities learn together. This is quite nice since those who are disabled can go to a normal school and learn normal stuff, and healthy kids get to be around wheelchairs and learn how to help those in need.
Now I imagine a school just for the disabled. And I don't mean those who are really mentally impaired but just on a wheelchair. We would be making a kind of ghetto and saying "Look, those kids oin wheels are different, they have to have a separate school".
The same is happening with this LGBT school. It shouldn't be a school just for gay people - it should be an LGBTQ FRIENDLY school but for everyone. This woulkd teach love and acceptation!

I am just reviewing the Code of Conduct sections and i have noticed that

there are names of places that i haven't seen before or don't exist since transferring from Ventrilo to TeamSpeak "Quarks Bar, Quantum Cafe, Federation Fleet and Klingon Fleet".

If the Code of Conduct is a guide of sorts for the fleet to follow, then rephrasing sentences that have the intended effect as some people would view think that the Code of Conduct are a laughing matter.

I know this is nit picking of all things but it would be helpful to make things clear as well as straight forward for member to understand without confusion.

I like the WIP code of conduct it gives a straight forward approach of the intended behavior of members in the fleet whilst matching with the emojis as Ereiid has mentioned.

I wouldn't mind seeing a third bit as a general rule of thumb of all members in its own category referring to a more common sense and etiquette of behaviour when respecting those of different nationality, sexuality, gender, intelligence and so on. Maybe following the "K.I.S.S" method would be a good idea. (Keep it simple silly)

But in all i like the ways its going. Great work Halish.

I rather appreciate your approach taking the form of a contractual understanding.

And moreover, the third point - that members wearing the Stonewall tags are standard bearers for the fleet at large - is a welcome and important addition.

Thumbs up emoji here.
