This is the Blue Horsehead Nebula in infared light.

[Sif, Valkyrie]
I was able to pick up my Asgardian dress and bring it to New York. Do either of you want it?

[Thor]
I picked up my dress from Asgard when I got my lab equipment. I've offered it to Sif and Valkyrie but if they're not interested, do you want it? Hang onto it for when you're reunited with your people and give someone a piece of home?

	Thank you for the kind offer however I do not think it would fit me. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: [Jane \| Valkyrie] science_fact 2018-05-07 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I know I'm tiny compared to the average Asgardian. But it's something from home so I wanted to check. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know if it will fit me or not but I'll decline anyway. I'd have nowhere to wear it in and I have enough mementos of Asgard to remember it by. You should keep it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I think it would definitely continue to look better on you than it would on me. I want coffee and pastries. I found a place not too far from where you are currently staying, would you like to meet and talk? We do have some catching up to do, after all. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: [Thor \| Jane] science_fact 2018-05-07 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know. The color matches your eyes. I just thought when you get back to your people there might be someone who wants. I feel bad, keeping anything from Asgard for myself. And yeah. That's good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Thor \| Jane] notgodofhammers 2018-05-09 07:11 pm UTC (link)
	I also do not have the figure to carry it well. Why should you feel bad? The dress is yours, Jane. Please keep it. Meet me at [address] in thirty minutes. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It looks like this in visible light. The nebula contains the stars from the constellation Scorpio. The blue color is caused by the tendency of the space dust forming the nebula to strongly scatter blue light, not so different from why the sky is blue. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If Gamora hadn't told me space was just a bigger, more expansive version of Earth problems, I'd totally wanna live there. We'd have to solve that oxygen problem first though. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It wouldn't look like that to us. The photo is taken in infared, not visible light. Space is...beautiful and awesome and magnificent and humbling and exhilarating and so so much larger than I ever could have imagined. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The oxygen tanks, AND infrared goggles. No kidding. A part of me is disappointed we haven't evolved further but that's only because of how weak we are compared to everything else coming outta there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well I think when NASA spent that 3 mil on the space toilet it kinda, you know, pissed everyone off. You know the government. They'd rather have that money in their pocket. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	People complain about the toilets. Nobody ever thinks about what happens if they stop working in zero-g. We know we're not alone in the universe. We know it. We should be in the greatest expansion of scientific research in human history. It's outrageous we're not. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It is a rather artful perspective. Yet, having plunged through several of the less color enhanced versions, I can not say I recommend seeing them up close. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	the_trickster 2018-05-11 04:51 am UTC (link)
	Ah, yes. That time. I would hardly say that a deliberate act is tantamount to trying to fake one's death, Jane Foster? It did, however, offer a...~~terrifying~~ unique insight on the inner workings of space. Not the first nor the last time I've traversed such a path. We were both cast out of the Bifrost and ended up on a nexus planet, after all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	science_fact 2018-05-11 05:06 am UTC (link)
	Both who were cast out of the Bifrost? What are you even talking about? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ah. It is a bit of a tale. Apparently, Thor and I had a sister we were not made aware of until a very inopportune moment. And when we attempted to escape to Asgard via the Bifrost, she overtook us both, and cast us out in mid-transit.

Thus we both fell through wormholes onto a planet, surrounded by a great many wormholes. One of which was known as the Devil's Anus. Wildly inappropriate, yet childishly amusing when asking for safe transport through it.

	Surrounded by wormholes? How many? From where? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

the_trickster

At least fourteen major wormholes, and several much smaller portals. The largest being the magnetar wormhole known as the anus, which connected nearest to Asgard. Sakaar was not terribly sophisticated when it came to naming conventions.

Unfortunately, I do not know where the others connected to. I do know that time seemed to move differently on the planet's surface. I was there for weeks longer than Thor was, and it seemed we were both cast out of the Bifrost within seconds of one another. Oh, and that the ruler of Sakaar was millions of years old by our known standards of time.

	science_fact 2018-05-12 01:15 am UTC (link)
	Interesting. We know that time behaves differently around certain cosmic events - black holes are famous for this. It's possible that so many bridges in a single area has an effect on space time. I'd need to make observations myself to be sure. Where was this in space? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_trickster 2018-05-12 02:26 am UTC (link)
	A very scholarly assessment. So it is a bending of time, as a lingering aftereffect from the great distances bypassed by a confluence of wormholes into one focused location. Yes? Sakaar is within the Tayo star system, a dwarf galaxy within the constellation your world would know as Fornax. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	science_fact 2018-05-12 02:51 am UTC (link)
	Yes, actually. That's pretty much it. Fornax is pretty close to us. And it's a galaxy cluster. With that many folded bits of space time the gravitational effect must be enormous. No wonder the galaxies cluster together. I'd like to see that. What was the gravity on the planet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I see. If it is that close then it would explain, perhaps, how the beast my brother is friends with was able to find his way there. Through such a portal or wormhole, no doubt.

It did seem to have quite a lot of flotsam and jetsam landing upon the surface, from throughout the universe? So the pull of the various wormholes was significant. As for the gravity on the planet's surface, it seemed comparable to the density of Asgard. Surprisingly, not at all different.

Sixty million light years in close in galactic distance but far on human scale. The bridge opening would have to be close if someone found their way there. I wonder if I can find the entrance. Who was it? From Earth or Asgard?

And Asgard is similar to Earth's but I always thought that was Nine Realms thing. Habitable planets are all formed from the same elements. It's not unreasonable they could be a similar size and have similar gravity. I'd still want to see the way the portals affect the environment.

From what I understand, the beast known as The Hulk managed it. If it could do so, then I've little doubt it was stumbled onto at a close proximity from Earth. If you could but find this opening, then there is a way to get back to the ruins of Asgard at the very least. Or, with a ship capable of weathering such travel, to other galaxies entirely.

The gravity was similar to Earth, definitely. So there may be some truth to the Nine Realms being linked by that common gravitational thread. Asgard itself was a realm of super-dense and highly durable particles, which no doubt had an overall impact over time on Asgardian physiology.

You were a vessel of The Aether at the time of your visit and since Asgard is no more, there's no way to tell if you would notice any changes in your current form or not. We did not often entertain Midgardian guests.

	Stop talking about Dr. Banner that way. He's a friend of a friend of mine and a person. Svartlheim wasn't so different but I'm in no rush to go back there. And I remember. Your dad called me a goat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Indeed, you are right about Svartalfheim's gravity. It is a pity it was left in ruins after the last war with the Dark Elves. It is still a much different planetary body than Asgard was, to be certain. Seeing as how it was round and spun on an axis.

As for your friend, there is a vast difference between Bruce and the beast he becomes. Just as there is a vast difference between you and a goat.

Truth be told? The Allfather saying that doesn't surprise me, given some of his longstanding views of those from other realms. I've heard worse. "Your birthright was to die as a child, cast out on a frozen rock," is a personal favorite of mine.

If Odin was irritable or was monitoring other threats to the realms - with yours truly once included - then he was never one for niceties. That was mother's domain. She had far more patience and grace.

	Yes, of course. There's no doubt it was a factor in how things played out, as well. (Reply to this) (Parent)
