Thank you so much for the beautiful picture you gave. Well, I guess the world isn’t flat anymore.Lol. Hope you have a great day and thank you again.
S
Maybe the people you're asking don't like the naked eye question being asked over and over and over and over again? Just a thought.
S
Appreciate your not-elitist and not-smug answer to my question! Which you posted twice, while complaining that I answered twice.
S
Why would he answer? The "naked eye" question is extremely common and it doesn't change when people answer.
S
Appreciate the repeated attack! Surely attacking me will result in an astronaut answering your question.
G
Amazing picture. It's incredible seeing all the stars that we don't see here down on earth.
