Terribly important geek question

[Mooster7]

I just bought a 600 power telescope.

Does anyone know where the various races in 'Star Trek' are fictionally situated? Has that ever been published by the Star Trek ruling junta?

Don't get me wrong. I intend to advance the limits of science with my telescope. At the same time, I'd like also to look around and say, "That's where the geeks say the Klingons live."

Thanks in advance and it's OK to preface any answer with,

"I don't know myself, but a friend I know says......"

I just rang a friend of mine and explained this situation to him and..............

he hung up after calling me a ****wit.


I also believe that there will be no curtains thick enough to hold the Mooster gaze.............girlies beware.

That's what I meant by advancing the limits of science, of course.

But seriously, where do the Klingons live? Vulcans? Those hot green chicks with the big s-e-e-e-x-y antanae?

Possibly the only person on this board who has the answers to your questions.

Got your PM Mooster.

I'm sorry though, but my knowledge of Star Trek is virtually zero. Never really appealed to me. I really don't know much about science fiction outside of Star Wars.

 

[Mooster7]

Thanks Dan.

If you don't know, then (unlike Star Wars) there is no 'New Hope.'


Peace,

Now I feel guilty that I couldn't help! You put your faith in me and I couldn't come through with the goods.

Surely there must be a website out there with this kind of information? I mean, some of these geeks take Star Trek so seriously...

Hehe... trust me mate, there are a lot of Trekkie websites out there that take the whole show too seriously. Go to Google and type "Star Trek". I'm sure you'll find all that you're looking for.

The trinary system 40 Eridani (Omicron 2 Eridani in some star atlases) is located in the constellation Eridanus at RA 4h 13m D -07d 44m; the system shines in our sky at magnitude 4.4 (easily visible, but not conspicuously so). Small telescopes will show 40 Eridani A next to a single white star (actually B and C, but small telescopes won't show them as separate). A larger telescope--say, an 8-incher--will be able to show B and C as separate. 40 Eridani B--the white dwarf--has the distinction of being the easiest-to-see white dwarf in Earth's night sky.

Eridanus? That's the rivery one, right? Has Achernar (9th brightest star*) in it.

(Thanks Dan for passing this information on to me)

* Apparent magnitude, excepting the sun.
