What would you say to Andromeda?
|
| |
There is a discussion of modulating Cepheid stars in order to signal other galaxies in rasf.science. Considering the round trip to the closest galaxy Andromeda (assuming you ignore the Magellanic Clouds) is 4.8 million years, what would you say?

Now available on [link] We've met our first F-SMA&DD, aka Devil Dog. Looks more like a crustacean to me. And in the penultimate panel, SOMEbody throws a javelin (or equivalent) at it and apparently does it some harm. So on Monday we may find out who it was came in by the phosphorus... more »
