Viktorkrum77 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 So, I have this goal in life. And I figured there's got to be enough astronomy freaks around here to help me out, so...I wanna adopt a galaxy! I figure there's billions of them discovered all named by catalog, and I just want one, one to name, so any ideas on how I could do this? Me doing staff.

GfxFortress Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 First buy a telescope Then Buy NASA. By adpot do you mean buy? Who would you buy it off? This is a hard one actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktorkrum77 Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 I'd love to buy it, but it's like this with stars. No one owns them, so there's no one to buy them from, so you adopt them. Me doing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThurinEthir Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I guess this is like me and my penguin. No one owns a penguin (Other than aquariums/zoos/etc), yet I "bought" one. It was called adopting. I'm fairly obsessed with astronomy, although it's one of the interests of mine that I used to love but no so much anymore. I think you should be able to get your answer off the NASA website...If not, I doubt anyone ere would know.

Basically the places where you spend money to name a galaxy are big scams. I actually own one already. The Triexel galaxy is located near Ursa minor, and I have the coordinates if anyone wants it. I'm not going to tell you how I pulled off this feat... nope *slips a piece of paper on Krum's desk* *walks away whistling* :-w As good as any other naming service; I bet you don't get a laminated certificate though.

Bubsa Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I didn't think you could get any more pretentious. EDIT: Dammit, Assassin stole my quip. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypie10 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Who do you buy it from? Pay NASA to discover one and name it after you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satenza Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 What happens when all the little alien men start demanding money to get themselves out of poverty. Then you are screwed. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
