I tried to get EZ Cosmos to run, and got a pop-up that it cannot run in Windows 10. I will check out your link and see if I can find something within my level of expertise.
3 billion years from the cosmic event, the earth ’s night sky will be beautifulThis is what the Andromeda Galaxy would look like in the night sky if it was bright enough to be seen with the naked eye.There is a higher-res version(2059 x 1371) at 3 billion years from the cosmic event, the earth ’s night sky will be beautiful.

Compare with the Moon just to the lower left. I had read enough times of descriptions explaining how 'big' Andromeda would appear to be, if only it were bright enough to be easily seen and identified, and I could never make any sense out of it (and quite naturally, I was always virtually dying of curiosity to find out, every time I happened to dwell on the subject).
Now, someone has gone to the trouble to create a lifelike picture of our twilight sky with a beautiful reproduction of a proper-sized Andromeda superimposed. My immediate reaction was, 'I never realized it would appear that big.'-holt (March 18, 2020, 10:41 AM)

Sam Quinones - wikipedia
quote: Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic (Bloomsbury Press, 2015) is story of the evolving opioid epidemic in Mexico and the United States. Quinones describes the "explosion in heroin use and how one small Mexican town changed how heroin was produced and sold in America."

Tnx! Now all I need is some kind of freeware to tell me where and when to find it in the night sky at my location. My EZ Cosmos stopped working with Windows 10.This is what the Andromeda Galaxy would look like in the night sky if it was bright enough to be seen with the naked eye.There is a higher-res version(2059 x 1371) at 3 billion years from the cosmic event, the earth ’s night sky will be beautiful.

Astronomers and various professionals have seemingly always maintained that Outer Space vacuum is a virtual 'null void' with absolutely 'nothing' in it. This always bothered me for some reason, although I could never say exactly why. It was just a nagging suspicion in the corner of my mind that there must be 'something' there, to give it dimension. Otherwise, how would the planets and stars 'know' where they are and where they're going (not to mention where they've been ((i.e. with delayed, lightspeed progression of gravity waves)) )? Now, we're being told there really are different invisible 'fields', one kind of field for each kind of subatomic particle. Momentum seems to me to be another mystery, in which these fields flawlessly endow moving objects with the energy of motion, and pass it along from 'here to there'. I feel this most intensely whenever I see something like a speeding test vehicle video that has been frozen split-seconds before impact, then moved forward in ultra slow motion. As if magically, the vehicle exhibits giving up the 'stored energy' of all that mysterious, invisible, magical 'momentum' as it smashes into the barrier.^Lightspeed gravity waves virtually guarantee that stars and galaxies will always be drawn to where their neighboring counterparts were before in the more immediate past, not where they actually are at any given moment, resulting in trail-chasing and swirls, as with Grand Design spiral galaxies, instead of direct head-on collisions.
As for 'empty Space', then there's also the fact that if you can look in any direction and see stars and galaxies, it means the photons are interpenetrating every supposedly 'empty' patch of Space. Also, I have a suspicion that FTL travel still awaits pending the discoveries of future super science breakthroughs.-holt (March 08, 2020, 04:24 AM)

TIL there is a mutation that causes bones to become 8 times denser than normal that allow people to walk away from car accidents without a single fracture but with a trade off of being unable to swim

I know exactly four words of Russian; da (yes), nyet (no), strasduidieh (hello), and dasvidanya (good-bye).
Yes, all in good humor and harmless fun. I've tried to steer clear of the current 'zoo' of drug-induced altered (mental) states, and find myself coming up with all kinds of acceptable alternatives.until one collapses from becoming hopelessly dizzy.I do this a few times during my childhood in the forest. The friends hide in the trees and when you awake feels the strange sensation....-holt (March 07, 2020, 05:07 AM)-Contro (March 08, 2020, 04:48 AM)

What do you think ?
I have heard in the past about similar things.
