Interesting fractal stuff:

A Star with Spiral Arms

... Astronomers have seen spiral arms before: they’re commonly found in pinwheel galaxies where hundreds of millions of stars spiral together around a common core. Finding a clear case of spiral arms around an individual star, however, is unprecedented.

The arms might be a sign that planets are forming within the disk. ...



Another way to see extrasolar planets?

Don't trust such Astronomers. They are not to be relied upon.

Anyway, it does not look like or resemble what I already know.

Is it something else, or has something new been discovered?

Please provide me with a link.

Or do you really mean astrologers?

Or what pan-galactic gargle blasters are you dreaming for random comments?

That is interesting. But I think it will be a long time before we would be getting any signals from that system or any like it. Any planets there probably have some heavy meteor showers.

In which way can the Seti@home client tell me that I possibly could have found something?

Is there one (or more) elements there which gives me a clue about this (in the numbers) more than anything else?

To be honest, I can not prove that I have found nothing yet. You surely agree about that.

Just wondering.

Edit: I just have watched the Nasa video on Youtube. Finally I understood.
