AI Thread Summary
NASA's Face in Space program allows individuals to send their photos into outer space on upcoming shuttle missions, likely using a flash drive for digital images. Participants can submit their pictures through the program's website. While some find the initiative intriguing, there are doubts about its potential to significantly boost public interest in the space program. The discussion also touches on the program's "participation maps," which provide insights into submissions. Overall, the program offers a unique opportunity for personal involvement in space exploration.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
