i have something for you....

i present to you, THE "HANS OFF!" TELESCOPE COORDINATE CALCULATOR


if you have a telescope, this should be able to tell you where to look for a whole plethora of stars, planets, and moons...

on the stars, though, the dataset i have saved only contains the 97 named stars and another 30,000 unnamed stars, but those unnamed ones are only a selection above my sky (for performance purposes)... if you're in the northern hemisphere, particularly at latitude ~35, you should be fine

on planets and moons, anything major. no satellites, asteroids, or meteors

if someone stole your body, would you go on a quest to rejoin it, or will you become complacent with now being a nebulous being?

Report Comment



Does that still make me mortal? Can I interact with matter?

by stargazer; ; Report

no, not really (gotta have a way back to your body, so there is technically some matter manipulation you can do as you re-enter after a tedious process)

by iason; ; Report

I'd reclaim it then. Existing in that way seems lonely. Maybe if I could talk to other body-less beings, I'd consider it

He was a great practitioner of Stoicism and generally a great human. I recommend you read his personal writings if you're interested

star-man who is your favorite artist? (can be any medium)

Report Comment



I had to think a little about this one. Maybe Wong Kar-Wai, the visuals he uses in his films are very pretty, and they always have this interesting mood that I can't put into words. If you're interested, I recommend watching Chungking Express

i gazed at stars today. saw venus very clearly and was able to form the basic star signs. and also new very temporary stars were being created at the same time. very cool time up there above all else.

Report Comment



That's some 10/10 time. Some people say that if the atmosphere were too thick to let through star shine, people wouldn't be inspired to wonder about the universe as much and human technology and science would've probable evolved differently.

by stargazer; ; Report

very likely. perhaps instead of going up, we would be more keen on going down...
