This forum is specifically for the discussion of factual science and technology. When the topic moves to speculation, then it needs to also move to the parent forum, Science Fiction and Fantasy (SF/F).
If the topic of a discussion becomes political, even remotely so, then it immediately does no longer belong here. Failure to comply with these simple and reasonable guidelines will result in one of the following.
- the thread will be moved to the appropriate forum
- the thread will be closed to further posts.
- the thread will remain, but the posts that deviate from the topic will be relocated or deleted.
Thank you for understanding.

Lovely! Some of them remind me of Sci-Fi novel covers from the '60s.

And now I know where that expression, "Don't blow off your outer layers" comes from.

Striking images from outer space and cryptic radio signals from Mars, in the same thread! Incredible!

Isn't Mars "in outer space"? Perhaps not exactly any more. It's just one planet over. We have rovers over there.
And then there's the question about what cosmic, cryptic radio signals are for. Is "Don't blow off your outer layers" a phrase that is whispered into the ear of every star in its stellar infancy? In hopes that it will be stable whatever its mass? Or to tempt it against all odds to just blow off those outer layers and enrich the cosmos with its heavier elements?
Awesome. Thanks for the link. Makes one seem very small in the scheme of things.....lol Such colors.
