  1. Yes, I discovered that trains are actually fake. I know this as I was out walking and came across some old disused train track, when I looked down the tracks they clearly were much smaller further way and far too close together for a train to run on, clearly proving that trains cannot really exists and run on tracks.
  2. Having said all that, the only think you can know for sure is that you exist "I think therefore I am" as any and all sensory perceptions are just thoughts
  3. Fuck me, how dumb can people be? This in fact proves that either the Sun is tiny and close to us or massive and a long way away, if the Sun is massive and close to us the Sun rays would be closer to being parallel, if it was smaller and close to use the rays would fan out (but then you'd struggle to feel any warmth from a small Sun and it would not illuminate virtually 50% of the Earth at any one point in time), so that leaves huge and far from us give a similar appearance of size but much more powerful, illuminating nearly half the planet and having rays that spread out due to the angle of penetration of the rays of light
  4. Oh and forget his claptrap about the Sun moving through the Universe, it's literally not relevant. the stars you see in the sky are in our own Galaxy, the Galaxy moves relative to the Earth or rather the Earth moves with the Galaxy and all it's stars, the Earth does not move through the Galaxy at any astronomica significant spped, it orbits the centre of the galaxy at 230km per second but then the entire galaxy is rotating with it DUH!. so yes everything appears static although over decades slight movements can be detected. Things far away appear to be motionless but the fact is they are moving at incredible speeds, it's another failing of flat Earthers (Flerfs) to underestimate the size of our Solar system let alone the Milky Way Galaxy and beyond, just a tiny snippet to give some kind of persepctive... If you jumped on your bike and rode to Jupiter non stop at 60mph, how long would it take you to get there, no break/stop/sleeping? 700 years is the answer and our system isn't even a spec of dust compared to the Galaxy we're in, if our Sun was the size of a ping pong ball the next nearest star to it (Proxima Centuri) would be 680 miles away
  5. Fucking idiot, Polaris isn't fixed, even polar scopes of fairly recent manufacture have to be taken with a pinch of salt when using the built in marks for where to place Polaris to gain accurate polar alignment with the Earth's axis of rotation Here's an example of Losmandy brand polarscope reticule, you can see the markings (near where it say's UMi (Polaris), that is where Polaris has to be placed and it changes, it is now out of the markins so alignment can be too far off for accurate tracking of more than 30 sec with a 1000mm telescope, it why we use plate solving to give absolute accuracy for better tracking (plate solving is uploading and image to servers that identify precisely where your telescope is pointed by analysing the stars in the image) it takes two separate images to be plate solved by rotating the mount on it's RA (right ascension) axis the program then gives a visual as to which way to move the elevation and azimuth controls to get it spot on, taking more images each time and plate solving after each move. These fuckwits really ought to do their homework properly as the people who listen to them should.
  6. Ah, must have ridden right by it, looks like it's still there on Google Street View
  7. The Leo Triplet, only got about 45 minutes exposure time on it though, so not the most detailed result, fucking South Wales, wettest place in Britain
  8. And the Flame Nebula too
  9. Fed up with chores and work and to do lists, fuckit, I'm off to Cenarth Waterfall, just 50 miles away but all tight twisties, well nearly Over Betws Mountain to start, fuck they've ruined that with these shithouse wind farms, was just a tiny bit chilly on my finger at 7-8c getting there, warmer days on the horizon now. No more stops til Cenarth, not much in the way of photogenic scenery and roads kept me occupied Pulled up right in front of the falls then spent some time trying to get nice pics, annoyingly I had left my ND filters at home, still I did what I could with what I had This one shows the old Flour Mill too (no not the Yamaha you wankers): Headed into the little bistro/gift shop before setting off, had a cup of tea and a couple of Welsh Cakes A brisk ride back home just over an hour away a balmy 11c all the way Lucky Pete didn't notice my scoot is covered in saw dust from my woodworking in the garage LOL All pics taken on my tiny little Sony RX100 V, a very capable camera
  10. Nice pics Yamahead It amazes me how many North Americans come over to Wales and remark how wonderful the scenery is, the USA has far better and more dramatic, you could spend 10 lifetimes finding great places there
  11. LOL, twat, corrected now
  12. James Webb Space Telescope as in the description (JWST)
  13. Well that was a long trip mostly wasted but salvaged this panorama of Aberystwyth Started out driving up to Llyn Brianne at 3pm (45 miles) in the vain hopes of getting a Sunset there, no luck as it just clouded over, so then drove across to Aberystwyth (32 very dodgy miles and a hill climb in the dark), got bigger panorama than below but cocked up with focus, still managed to salvage this one, wasn't entirely happy so then drove to Ynys (across the estuary from Port Meirion 58 miles), but couldn't get the angle I wanted as it was too late to be driving down private roads and there was no damned snow on the mountains behind "The Village", b*ll*cks, not having much luck so headed on to Caernarfon Castle (24 miles) to get a classic reflection shot, but oh dear, the lights weren't on and the tide was out pffft, bloody tired now as it's early hours, thought I'd head back via Machynlleth and stop, wait for morning to see if any fighter jets were low flying, fell asleep in a layby, woke up at about 4am and decided to head for home (138 miles) arrived at 08:10am. 273 miles of dodgy, slow Welsh mountain roads in the pouring rain So remember when you see a great picture online from a photographer, give it a like as it's extremely unlikely they they simply happened to be in the right place at the right time, I guarantee they've done all this crap too and more, tried dozens of times before getting that one shot, the one below isn't a great shot, just what I could salvage from one of many failed trips.
  14. The Tough One 2009 David Knight vs Taddy Blazusiak shoot it out at Nantmawr Quarry, Wales, those were the days and it gives some insight into what it's like trail riding on the terrain in Wales If you've got access to the Roku channel it's on there
  15. You should check your sources zzzak, always check the information you've been fed
  16. You should always double check the information you've been presented with zzzak, a simple Google image search and you'd have found untampered images
  17. "The Pillars of Creation" 3 JWST Infrared images taken in infrared at 187n, 335n and 444n, black and whites, aligned, stretched in Siril, imported into Affinity Photo, colour layered et voila Tutorial by Nico Carver on Youtube
  18. Sunset over Pennard Castle and Three Cliffs Bay
  19. Wank stain I'm well aware what a retard you was being. You been gargling Buckster's Jiz again
  20. That's so ironic it's funny I list some facts and you say "no", twat
  21. It's very true zzak, people seem to be oblivious to the facts in front of them Animal and plant life grew faster than at any other time in Earth's history when CO2 in the atmosphere was 400 times what it is now We are still technically in an ice age (determined by there being ice on the polar caps), we are in fact on the exit side of the curve right now and the Earth is going to get warmer, no question and now way to stop it, Human's influence will count for absolutely nothing. The people I worked with at the Woodland Trust came up with a dumb climate change saying "Trees eat carbon for breakfast" to which I responded "so why exactly is it you wish to get rid of carbon?"
  22. I bet Pete spent many hours under here picking up coins that had been dropped through the walkway slats
