Why do I see so many people with nautical star tattoos?

I keep seeing Chicks and Bros with nautical star tattoos are they supose to be rockstars or something?Why do I see so many people with nautical star tattoos?Lol. I actually have 2 nautical stars, but i got them before it was "cool," and i have liked the way they looked ever since I was a kid. I think it is because most people just want a "cool" tattoo, so they pick a piece of flash (htose posters on the walls). Stars DO look pretty neat, and everybody knows what they are, so they just get them. I think a lot of these tattoos are spur-of-the-moment things.Why do I see so many people with nautical star tattoos?
i'm thinking about getting nautical star tattoos, but not because the look "cool" i'm getting them to represent northern and southern california (nautical stars are associated with it). i have lived in both areas so it represent where i've come from. it all depends

Why do I see so many people with nautical star tattoos?Actually my nautical stars are awesome... they represent my grandmother. She was way into the nautical theme, so as a memory to her I got the stars. I've gotten the right one colored in and it looks really trippy with the colors and whispy it has to it. And the left arm is going to have something just as kewl... just have to design it.



And yes... I love rock music... and I work with rockers (promo person), but I'm no way near a rockstar... lolWhy do I see so many people with nautical star tattoos?
iIt got all started mostly in the navy by sailor jerry. Back then the sailors navigated not with compasses but with stars and they depended on them find thier ways back home. Many military people get a nautical star as a symbol for finding ones path home safely. But every person has thier own meanings for them... personally i got two of them on my wrist and yes i was in the army!Why do I see so many people with nautical star tattoos?some people just get tattoos for the sake of having them and don't put any thought inot what they get- others do it cause it is the style but a really dumb method- eventually the style will change and the tattoos won't its like a permanent mullet- not that mullets aren't awsome
No its because they are so obsessed with the "cool factor" that goes along with people that have tattoos that they dont think about what they are going to get, they just go to the parlor and pick out the first thing that theyve seen on someone "cool".... idiots...(including my husband..lol)Why do I see so many people with nautical star tattoos?
I'm thinking about getting one! not because their so cool,Because they represent so much about the good in life.First off i love stars the nauitical star,repesents safety and always finding your way back home safe.And the colors are so cool.It has nothing to do with being a dumb@ss rock star
Honestly, whatever. They look fantastic on some people, and I have liked the design since childhood as well. I've also seen some people who do pretty unique designs with them. So sad that the trendy majority has managed to ruin one very cool idea for a small tattoo. Sigh.Why do I see so many people with nautical star tattoos?
Yeah, the chicks and bros are all rock stars if they have a nautical star tattoo.
Because stars are trendy and a 'safe' tattoo because they're unoffensive
i know finballas get em to represent



^5^



but yea bros are just lames all around
do you live on a f'n boat?

Is it possible for a popular movie actor and star to be shy?

Is it possible for a popular movie actor and star to be shy?Is it possible for a popular movie actor and star to be shy?yeah absolutely. kim basinger has a big anxiety problem. it used to be much worst but she got help. she would be nervous just going to an awards show. but when they play someone else they don't have to be themself and somehow that makes it easier.Is it possible for a popular movie actor and star to be shy?
YesIs it possible for a popular movie actor and star to be shy?Johnny Depp is pretty shy, and hes REALLY Popular.Is it possible for a popular movie actor and star to be shy?
Yes: some hide behind the characters they portray.Is it possible for a popular movie actor and star to be shy?yes, for example-- Drake bell off drake and josh is a very shy person, when he meets a new person he goes all shy and doesnt no what to say.Is it possible for a popular movie actor and star to be shy?
totally. there is an indian actress in this watchmacallit movie who is totally shy in real life.

I purchased star wars battlefront recently and it worked fine. next day i tried to run it and it wouldnt start?

i purchased star wars battlefront recently and it worked fine. next day i tried to run it and it wouldnt start. i restarted windows and the game still would not run!!! ive tried everything, but it wont work!I purchased star wars battlefront recently and it worked fine. next day i tried to run it and it wouldnt start?This has happened to me on empire at war (star wars to) and its happened to my ps3 battle front disk to i personally was able to fix EAW by downloading a patch of file planet i would suggest you you try it.



Now if nothings happening when u put the disk in then the data could be corrupt in that case uninstall the game and then reinstall it.



If neather work then its probably the disk in which case you can try srach fillers/removers or buy a new one which should be cheap by now.

Looking for an expert to give value of original Star Wars figures in pristine condition in the original boxes.?

Also looking for values of 1970's toys and games, like Star Trek and the Lone Ranger and Tonto figures, GI Joe. All is perfect condition with all the pieces.Looking for an expert to give value of original Star Wars figures in pristine condition in the original boxes.?The best place for expert pricing on Star Wars would be RebelScum.com's Wedge Engine. You can enter the figures you have and it gives you the estimated value collected from a variety of sources all dependent on their condition. Values for such figures will vary in range depending on the item itself (a rare figure, special packaging, etc), demand, and current market value.



You can also check Ebay for a general idea on what is selling for a given value. If the figures are mint, with no packaging damage, can fetch very high prices. If they have been removed from the box, the values will drop, but with older figures and toys, can still fetch a decent price. Even loose figures from that era can get good prices dependent on the item.

Two planets with identical mass are orbiting a distant star at the same speed. Planet X is twice as far from?

Two planets with identical mass are orbiting a distant star at the same speed. Planet X is twice as far from the star as Planet Y. How will the force the star exerts on Planet Y compare to the force the star exerts on Planet X?Two planets with identical mass are orbiting a distant star at the same speed. Planet X is twice as far from?The net force on each planet:

F = mv^2/r

v = sqrt(rF/m)



For planet X:

v = sqrt[(2r)(FX)/m] [1]



For planet Y (mass and speed are the same as planet X):

v = sqrt[(r)(FY)/m] [2]



[1] = [2]:

sqrt[(2r)(FX)/m] = sqrt[(r)(FY)/m]

2(FX) = (FY)



Because this answer is inconsistent with the dynamics approach (inverse square law due to gravity), this problem describes an unrealistic scenario... Either the gravitational forces on these planets don't follow an inverse square law (to have the same speed under the other conditions given) or (more likely) the creator if this problem gave too much (erroneous) information in the problem (the planets won't have the same speed acting under gravity at the distances given).Two planets with identical mass are orbiting a distant star at the same speed. Planet X is twice as far from?The force on Y is greater than on X.

The gravitational force is given by Newtons Law of Gravitation:

F = G Mm / r^2

Because X is farther away r must be bigger. and when you divide by a larger number the result is smaller



This is one of many forces in physics that respects a 1/r^2 relation, the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.



So more specifically:

G, M, and m are all the same values for both planets.

G is a constant, and M is the mass of the star, m is the mass of the planet, since planets X and Y have similar mass then m is the same value in both situations.



So the only difference in the two situations is r. Let's say that R is the distance from planet Y to the star so we have the force given by:

Fy = G Mm / R^2

Now, the distance to X is 2R because it's twice as far, so we have:

Fx = G Mm / (2R)^2



you can take the 2 out to the front to get the form:

Fx = (1/4) G Mm / R^2

everything after the (1/4) is the same as Fy right?

So

Fx = (1/4) Fy



This shows that the force on planet X is one fourth as great as the force on planet Y.

Does the apparent brightness increase or decrease as a star appears less bight to someone on Earth?

Which star is cooler Alpha Crucis, Beta Crucis, Gamma, Crucis, or Delta Crucis?Does the apparent brightness increase or decrease as a star appears less bight to someone on Earth?Oh great, I'm terrible with the southern sky!!!



For the title question, the answer is "decrease."



In magnitude, a lower number = brighter star.



The sun is roughly apparent magnitude of -26.

Full moon, -13. (This does not mean the sun is twice as bright, because levels of magnitude are on a logarithmic scale... each magnitude is about 2.51 times brighter than it's fainter counterpart).



Venus at it's brightest -4

Faintest naked eye stars +6



As far as the coolest stars go, you could look at color. Red stars are the coolest, blue-white are the hottest. Or you could look them up on the HR Diagram or find out their classification type. Star Classifications, in order from hottest to coolest:



O

B

A

F

G

K

M



Sorry I can't help you with the Centaurus "pointer" stars. I will look it up and see if I can find out for you!

What colour would the sky be under a red star?

What effect would having a red star have on the colour of the sky, and the colour of ambient light?



Assuming that it was a planet much like earth, with the same atmospheric make up, gravity, density etc.What colour would the sky be under a red star?I would say red. Because a red star doesn't give off blue light.

For example in a photographer's red room you would be hard pressed to see the room lit up with blue light.What colour would the sky be under a red star?
bluuuuuuuuuueWhat colour would the sky be under a red star?pale purpleWhat colour would the sky be under a red star?
A lot darker, but assuming it's still a Nitrogen/Oxygen atmosphere, it would be blue.What colour would the sky be under a red star?Look like The American Flag.



Real patriotic.



I wouldn't mind colonizing a planet like that.
My understanding would be that it would still be blue. Our atmosphere reflects most of the color but allows for the blue wavelengths to pass through.



The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.



However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.



Regardless if it was a red dwarf, brown dwarf or a Protostar, as long as out chemical makeup remains the same, the sky would be blue.What colour would the sky be under a red star?
Tim said, "...My understanding would be that it would still be blue..."



Can't be blue if there isn't any significant amount of blue light to be scattered. I say, on a clear cold day, it would look black... with visible stars. On less-clear days, I suppose we would see a reddish glow in the sky, and of course on an overcast day, the clouds would all look red....



...That is, to our human eyes. A being who evolved on that world might have a very different perception of colors. (might, have monochromatic vision, and no concept of color at all.)
The reason the sky is blue is Rayleigh scattering. The scattering cross-section for photons varies inversely as the fourth power of the wavelength of light. What that means, is that the bluest light that comes from the star is scattered the most. You didn't specify how red the star is, but there are essentially no stars that are so red that they emit no yellow light. If the star is sufficiently red that it has no significant blue light, then the next longest wavelength (green or yellow) will be scattered the most and the sky will appear that color. So, I'd say that the sky would appear more greenish than the Earth's sky does today, and it would also be less bright (since less of the total light would be scattered). Stars would be easier to see in the daytime.What colour would the sky be under a red star?
Purple. or shade of purple
