MEANDERING GRAVITY WAVEFRONT NEAR NGC 6782 In an area of deep space which includes bright ultra violet galaxy Ngc 6782 hunkering on its right edge, a huge standing wave pattern comprising an area of more than 44,000 arcminutes, contains a gravitic moire pattern of riplling waves in deep space self evidently seen in certain Dss images (1st generation). This huge pattern is so coherent that any thoughts it is due to telescope, lens, or film plates, have to be abandoned. At right is just one 60x60 arcminute frame, showing ripples, as an indication of the total scope of the formation, herein called the 'Matrix', shown complete in a blue image below with the above single piece in the lower left corner of the blue image. |

OTHER DEEP SPACE RIPPLE FORMATIONS INCLUDE THESE Stupendous giant oval formation in the Perseus Galaxy cluster. The larger bright objects are elliptical galaxies. Giant oval near Andromeda. Bullseye at the outskirts of Andromeda. Circular oval near Ngc 3310. Other ripple formations, and diffuse deep space circular objects. |

THE MATRIX - WHAT IS IT? MATRIX BODY The Matrix consists of concentric lineal rills meandering across a large cross section of deep space and vertically rising to become lost in what can be modelled as exploding shrapnel. The rills do not seem to continue around the left rear flank and on back up to complete an oval or any closed formation, instead, the rills seem to peter out into a thin convergence on a north-east vector from the leftmost lower boundry of the rills. These rills in toto, in terms of thickness and length, seem to be on scale approximately that of the giant oval composed of gravity waves near Andromeda. A few salient features of the 'Matrix', labelled A to O, start here. Each image is a 'preview' of a 60x60 arcminute Dss frame first converted to Histogram Equalize then screen captured as a 'small preview' in a graphics editor. Each 'preview' image is a high DPI with most of the dizzy information filtered out leaving only the most salient details, the 'skeleton' of the image so to speak. But, the 'skeleton' as seen is genuine - what you see is what you've got out there in deep space (assuming the 'Matrix' is not an overlay from nearby in the Milky Way, which, even so, if overlay, still has rills of stupendous size which are in our view nothing less than gravity standing waves in visible form). To begin, the preview's DPI is sufficient to show a satellite streak (lower right) in a 2100x2100 image reduced to 129x136 size and displayed at 400x422. 'MATRIX' HIGHLIGHTS The next images are a sequence, all 'previews' of 115x115 size give or take a point, and displayed enlarged to 250x260. They have been adjusted from original black and white to red toned enhancements to better show the gravity waves standing forth from more mundane backgrounds. Stereo views (merge two images together to see 3D) show uneven surfaces, in other words the 'Matrix' components are not flat. Think of clouds, think of smoke, think of shock waves along the edge of irregular clumped densities. In the following sequence of views, gravity standing waves in very long meandering parallel rills are seen, however, if you saved the images and viewed each in the much higher DPI of a graphics editor, the parallel rills will be more sharply seen and unmistakable. This includes smaller parallel lines at shorter lengths and thinner widths, which are not seen so clearly in the following sequence of views. Thinner lines closer together mean higher frequencies, shorter lengths mean shorter energy pulses, broader widths in each line mean higher amplitudes per given frequency. (- Thus there is similarity to gravity waves and electromagnetism. But here the similar ends due to lack of a constant velocity for all waves - gravity waves are essentially very slow moving slowly morphing in a near steady state station keeping situation. In this regard, gravity waves behave like sound, which in a room sets up standing wave patterns that morph at speed of sound velocities according to changes in the music and nearby motions in the envirnoment -). For instance in the opening two astronomy views next below, (both the same in different stages of enhancement), a long thin run of lines vertically up the screen on a trajectory canted slightly to the right is evident, this seems to be the outer end run of the waves on the left hand side of the 'Matrix'. These important lines are poorly seen in a browser, and are well seen in the higher DPI of a graphics editor. I was not able to find any further northward run of left-side parallel standing wave lines. If they are there in the 'Matrix' I was not able to find them. The lines shown in the next two views below seem to be where the standing wave pattern peter out. But, as already said, this does not mean there are not more in the upper northwest region beyond the arcminute range of these views. It only means that I did not find any more in probing around before quickly moving on in downloading different arcminute ranges of Dss 1st generation images. |

In the next image, galaxy Ngc 6782 is shown blue colored in the small box. In 15x15 arcminute Dss scale, and un-enhanced, galaxy Ngc 6782 looks like this, which helps you to comprehend the full magnitude of the super size and scale of the gravity wavefront of the 'Matrix'. The full 60x60 arcminute size is this which is the full size 60x60 plate used to make the following colorform which first revealed the 'Matrix' hidden in very dim medias of the original Dss plates. Seeing these vertical parallel bands for the first time was an instant flash, from which there was no turning back. The only consequence was to instantly abandon any other plans for the day or the next hour and go to work at once downloading every Dss 1st generation image which showed further extensions of the rills. And there were plenty. Hours passed into the middle of the night before the decision was made to stop looking at more Dss plates for any further extensions of the 'Matrix'. There could be more extensions still to be found. |

COMPARISION OF DSS SCANS Here is how 2nd generation (left) scans compare with Dss 1st generation scans. Two examples shown. |

MATRIX SCALE FACTOR From this, we can estimate the size of the Matix. The 'Matrix' is (170x260) arcminutes in size. By simple mathematics this translates to an area of 44,200 arcminutes. An arcminute is a rather large expanse of sky. The Sun (Moon of course also) is 8.8 arcSeconds, which is 6.8 times smaller than an arcMinute. 60 arcminutes (the size of a standard large Dss plate), is (60 x 6.8 = 408) times the size of the Sun or the Moon. Dss (60x60) arcminute plates were used to put together the blue composite of the huge 'Matrix' in the deep space sky. In total, the 'Matrix' occupies about 12 equivalent Dss deep space (60x60) plates if shown on one extra-large plate at normal Dss scaling factors. COMPOSITE If I had purred and caressed over each piece patched together for the composite I suppose (I am sure) it would have been possible to produce a more even gradiant in media densities between pieces, as it was there was enough of a hustle (hassle) just trying to download pieces that fit where needed from Dss - I did very little in enhancing individual pieces seeking better blends between borders - as it is, the composite is enough to show huge large scale deep space structures including lines which wander like rills on the Moon, even though the resulting composite hacked together by myself is like an old dog with patchy fur pieces. One giant plate (say) 250x400 arcimutes, could be spectacularly revealing, in that unevenness between border edges from many smaller plates would be eliminated. A very strong show of deep space large length gravity waves had shown up in a Dss 1st generation 60x60 arcsecond image of galaxy Ngc 6782. A thumbnail image taken from a graphic editor's previews shows the waves in vertical raster more than clearly enough to establish their existence, or at least, the existence of deep space media patterns which are lineally coherent, whose image is modelled by a distorted diffraction grating. Hence, came into visible hard copy - the 'Matrix'. |

NGC 6782 SUPERSIZE Ngc 6782 has a very large outer superstructure in the form of two more spiral arms which do not show up in any other telescope's images shown in this page. The view next is from a Dss 15x15 arcminute image, the donut bright object cut out, and highly enhanced including a color tone version to make the outer superstructure more easily seen, and expanded to make the outer superstructure more visible in albiet blurry context. Don't forget, the original Dss photo was of a very small object seen at a long distance away. Also, having New General Catalogue number Ngc 6782 means it was only recently discovered and added to the growing Ngc list, so is no way dominant in the night sky. Nearby objects in Dss views can seem huge, for instance big Andromeda nearby is so huge in Dss views that it looms right up in your Dss face occuping several Dss 60x60 arcminute frames to incorportate the whole of it. In 3D (merge two images in the image pairs above together in overlay by eyesight to see the stereo) it can be seen that the center bright rings of hot stars are tilted on a shelf, with the lower edge tilted forward toward the camera. In these views the sense of tilt is subliminal rather than abundantly self evident in these blurry views but nonetheless there. Such tilts of the inner regions of galaxies, in tilted shelves or plateaus, or horizon planes, are commonplace, no galaxy anywhere seems to be without a tilt of some degree in its inner region around the core, relative to the large outer superstructures forming a galaxy. Look for yourself, all galaxies are contructed with built-in 3 dimensional by-lateral symmetries nested one within another. (- A little side trip acquainting readers who do not know, how telescopes not using depth of field for focusing their photo shoots can get seeming big objects, and seeming small objects, in their fixed field of vision, bringing to mind comparisons in size - both the LMC (large) and SMC (small) nearby Magellic Cloud irregular galaxies are so small they can hardly be seen in Dss frames containing them. See if you can find LMC in this 25x15 arcminute frame of LMC - you are correct, it is so small it takes quesswork to spot it -). Whereas Andromeda, not any further away cosmically speaking, is so huge it occupies at least 9 (if not more) Dss frames to be seen in its entirety in fixed plane (no focus) views. Hubble photographing a nearby star field such as Orion is done by many tiny shots patched together since the Hubble wide camera field of view looks at an Orion far too large to be snapped in a single frame - which brings us back to the sheer size and scale of the gravitic bubble pushing forward into foreground deep space near Ngc 6782. Andromeda gigantic in comparison to the superstructure size of Ngc 6782 itself, does not mean that Ngc 6782 is that much smaller, it isn't. Small irregular oval elliptical galaxy M110 appears enlarged against a looming huge eastern shelf of Andromeda, in a Dss 60x60 2nd generation (blue) scan. Evidence suggests M110 is a residual of a small spiral galaxy trashed in passing straight through Andromeda. Hot clumps still in place which once occupied spiral arms can still be seen in the form of skeleton arms tracing paths of light spiralling out around M110. In closeup next, two dark areas are seen near the M110 core in a Dss 2nd generation (blue) image, the dark areas are shown next in having possible significant ramifications in the understanding of M110. |

DARK HOLE IN GRAVITY WAVES NEAR NGC 6782 This dark hole is about the same scale size as Ngc 6782. The dark hole may be a photofilm artifact (flaw). I like to guess that darkholes like these are dark galaxies, since they have bright center areas of extreme low luminosity which do not show at all in normal astronomy film developing brightness which favors bright objects on pitch black backgrounds. But, their existence is nonetheless stored in the fabulous high DPI of astronomy photographic plates but well hidden among dim medias in the high DPI, ranges of texture within the dim medias too dim to be decerned by eyesight but revealed when the photographs are enhanced to bold (courageous) excessive levels. Holes (dark galaxies?) such as this, next, do not appear until the original image is highly enhanced, usually by Histogram Equalize. Reverse Negative casts a different make on the texture comprising the suspected 'dark galaxy'. The hard dot spitting the edge of the darkhole is a nearby star in the Milky Way. |

HUBBLE IMAGE In the sequence of 'preview' images above, galaxy Ngc 6782 is the small white spot in the center of Image K (also Image R). The 'previews', made from Dss 60x60 arcminute originals enhanced by Histogram Equalize and reduced to 1/2 size, show the whole domain, of waves impacting against the edge of a strong bright-dark media density boundry down the right hand side of the composite. Above is a Hubble preview version, that is, a black and white photographed for quickly mapping a better version to be digitally filmed in full color. Often, a Hubble 'preview' in black and white shows more details than the full color final version, however there are few Hubble black and whites around in the public domain. What Hubble black and whites can reveal is used by myself in an example next, revealing coherent ray and tower structures and a row of sequential coherent short lines, at the Eta Carena nebula. |

HUBBLE NGC 6782 IMAGE EXPLAINED Ncg 6782 has a particularly energetic inner ring which glows strongly in ultra violet and visible light, which is why the Dss image looks like an intensly glowing small donut. Deep Space Sky Survey snapshots by Mt. Palomar and other telescopes involved used fixed focus pointing to different sectors of the sky, which is why some galaxies appear so large (nearby) and others so small (far away). Ngc 6782 is a somehwat large galaxy but is far away so is small in Dss view. EYELIDS SLICKING OVER AN EYEBALL The hubble study shows an enlarged vague outer structure around mutually facing thin-edged clambshell arms, and an inner energetic area modelled upon eyelids slicking over an eyeball, which is not an unusual structure in that other galaxies have a similar 'eyelid slicking over eyeball' basic shape. The Hubble study was intended to show the hot inner ultra violet radiant rings. I have done a self engineered study of a particular class of galaxies which have a bar through the center and an inner circum-nuclear ring of ultra violet excited new stars. These galaxies also have twin thin-line arms winding in opposite directions from the inner center and it is these twin thin line arms which have motivated my self engineered investigation, plus the other unique common feature of having seeming eyelid cowlings partially closed slicking over the inner eyeball. EYELIDS SLICKING OVER EYEBALLS My suspician is this particular kind of galaxy form (eyelids slicking over an eyeball) are due to collisions, how recent or far distant in the past I cannot say expect that evidence compounds in clues all pointing to 'collision', which then (if true) can account for the spectacular aspect of intense new hot star formation outbursts forming the characteristic rings around centernuclear regions of such galaxies. Galaxies so far studied include Ngc 3310 and Ngc 1512 and Ngc 1409 and Ngc 2207 and M64. Ngc 5643 is being added to the list because of a core similarity to Ngc 6782. Next is galaxy Ngc 6782, another eyelid galaxy now added to the growing list in home engineering studies of this particular galaxy class.

Galaxy Ngc 1409 with eyelids slicking over an eyeball, and twin thin arms, in both galaxies. I am making a guess that here, two 'eyelid' galaxies have wrangled past each other diffusely stretching a strew, making another thin line linking between them from impact and cling. Perhaps astronomers are right, that the long thin dark line stretching between the two galaxies is a strand of gravity, perhaps it is a powerful gravity wave made visible by its presence in sundry matter dust. |

Galaxy M64 with eyelids slicking over an eyeball - perhaps a protoform where thin twin lines have not yet evolved. |

Galaxy Ngc 3310 with eyelids slicking over an eyeball - you need to read the captions text in this file to grasp my thrust in showing these Ngc 3310 enhanced images persuent to recent collision not yet evolutionarily resolved. |

OTHER RIPPLES, HERE AND THERE RIPPLES IN LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD SPACE My ever circulating jury is out on this one, parallel lines saturation local neighborhood space between the Large (left) and Small (right) Magellanic Clouds. These lines, not all straight, are in an Noao image highly enhanced by myself, and only showed up in a self-see way in extra strong green light adjustment. The fact that not all lines are straight suggests the possibility that regions of deep space in our local neighborhood are saturated with gravity waves, or, at least, with sundry matter coherently organized in ripples. It would not be surprising to find coherent sheets with ribbing in the space between LMC and SMC, the deep space region in which they drift is very irregular with clumping, and a broad density band, as seen in this 'preview' factored view of a Dss 60x60 arcminute frame (next) of the LMC, which is located well to the left of center screen in the Dss (and next) view. In this next view, LMC cannot be pinpointed, obscured by overbright stars from the Milky Way. Click here for a Dss 15x15 LMC view, enhanced, and LMC 60x60 view, enhanced. It is not easy for me to direct a laser pen pointer at LMC and say 'right here see it?', because I am not sure which drifting little bloodclot is LCM. These images put new meaning to the words 'dwarf galaxy'. LMC is a v e r r r small galaxy. |
|---|
|
MORE RIPPLES IN LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD SPACE Vertical lines in an Andromeda image, also from Noao, show up under very high green light enhancement. It is possible these lines are too vertical, caused by lighter fluid spoiling the film on the other hand tantalizing glimpses of major rippling in deep space in our local galactic neighborhood are consistently seen but none clear enough to be declarative. These two shows of green light gravity wave spectrum lines are the best I have so far for Andromeda. |

THE SAGA OF HADLEY RILL I am aware of conspiracy theories as much as anyone else - who is going to get the biggest grant and how did they get it, through Rockwell, to who won the election and how. In the case of Hadley Rill, and the Moon, a conspiracy theory seems to be underway unfolding even as we speak. Look to the Internet for anything on the Apollo 15 mission, which landed at Hadley Rill. Page after page linked came up with glitsy artwork surrounding 'page not found, try our other pages with products for sale and important personality and directors images with boasts of their accomplishments', 'or equivalent'. But no goodstuff - pictures or pages of the astronauts and former reams of pictures on the Moon are !missing! (circ. Nov 2001). I went looking for a photo of the Moon rover with astronaut facing the awesomely high white solid walled Hadley rill nearby, and no luck. The photo was not to be found anywhere (I did not search every nook and cranny but places where I knew the picture used to exist have another rover picture in place which does not show the giant hard surface glistening solid white wall where a closeup segment of towering Hadley wall used to be. Buzz buzz conspiracy conspiracy - why have such photos been filtered out of the human astronomy public domain picture. Like I say, I wanted to show that picture here, but cannot. Pssst. It did exist. Pictures of Hadley Rill still do exist, but none on APOD where (it seems to me) Hadley Rill photos were once commonplace. This next were found in obscure places, two or three images only one or two of them a Hadley on each found page. This first is a closeup taken from close above ground by an astro in a series of rapid shutter shots from a handheld camera (Pentax I think if I remember glancing at the caption). What can be seen is a block of info filled in with small details near the top of the rill edge (left) where a shot got that spot unshadowed.
This second is a well known survey shot when Hadley Rill was being concidered for an Apollo landing site.
This third is one I have never seen before, a long range view, enhanced by myself for better detail clarity, followed by the long range view plus zoom showing the landing area hand drawn. Since the composite view is unenhanced by myself, the moonscape is darker, harder to see. |

This fourth is a hand drawn view of Hadley Rill by an internet US government division which features online astronomy teaching. Time passes - two days. Well, here it is. In those wee hour slim moments before dropping off to sleep and the mind can be particularly engaged in sharp focus in came an idea as to how I might find the Hadley photo with the lunar rover and astronaught in front. First thing upon waking I tried it out, a way of searching through 45 gigs in about 1000 directories and bingo, pop, pop, pop, the picture, inveigled through a handful of directories dating back four years ago. It gets better. I had no idea what picture name, and then, iniating a search, misspelled Hadley as Hedley, guess what, the photo copies I found were all misspelled 'Hedley' four years ago. Happy handshake from a friendly god looking in, apparently, or a subconscious dejavu rather than upstairs lords taking turns delivering the goods. Here is the photo. The Hadley rill, a giant walls nearby forming a backgrop against the rover on the Moon. |

On Earth, the Great Wall of China could be construed as a meandering rill when seen from space if space observers knew not what it was and had not yet landed for a closeup. Best seen in 3D. Focus the two images together in overlay using eyesight to see the Great Wall in stereo. |

|
RILL ON MARS The only other 'meanderer' I have seen is one I found in a photo of Mars, in a large photo the rill was only a thin white line, but when zoomed and enhanced by myself a meandering rill is exposed. |
