Sensei Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Good reason to learn astronomy... Don't get lost in space..
swansont Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 If you learn it as 3D, rather than projected onto the 2D surface of a sphere.

Expand Many Bugs Bunny cartoons began with Bugs popping popping out of the ground expecting to to be at some vacation spot, but instead finding himself at some other remote lcoation. This would result in him pulling out a map and quipping " I knew I shoulda taken that left turn at Albuquerque!" The background here, as noted by Phi for All, is a Litihum cracking station as depicted in the original Star trek series. Specifically, the one on Delta Vega, located at the edge of the galaxy (from the episode "Where No man Has Gone Before"). Risa is a planet from ST the Next Gen known as a prime place to go for R&R. Switching "Aldebaran" for "Albuguerque" was poetic license on my part. The 3D rendering of the station is based on the matte painting used for the episode. Edited October 22, 2019 by Janus 1

I guess this is a good example of how highly subjective humor is, this is as funny to me as going through spam on a Sunday afternoon.

Expand No mention of rabbits though. Although Bugs looks more Hare than Rabbit to me. He's doing well, if he's been to the edge of the Galaxy. Even if it was the near edge, it's still thousands of light years away. And he doesn't look a day older. It must be the carrots.
Sensei Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) @koti Galactic offworlders have specific sense of humour. Off this world. Human can laugh from getting lost in mall, hotel etc. and turn it to anecdote for friends and family. Offworlder can laugh from getting lost in space. Edited October 22, 2019 by Sensei
iNow Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Another impressive bit of work on the creation and detailed 3D rendering of a 2D image, Janus. I can only imagine the hours that went into it, and appreciate you sharing it here in a lighthearted way.
swansont Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I want to note for the record that when I had the chance to go to Albuquerque a few years ago, I made sure to make the proper left-hand turn, and ended up where I wanted to be. 1
