GIANT COHERENT CONCENTRIC RACE TRACK OVAL NEAR  
ANDROMEDA   VRS   ARTIFICIAL CIRCLES  


  to bottom   This is two pages merged in one. Main theme is show of a giant long oblong oval in deep space near Andromeda. The lower end of it is shown next below.

 

The rest of the (interwoven) subject matter deals with difficulties (of which there were many) in determining the size and extent of the giant oblong oval, and where it was sitting with respect to Andromeda, difficulties including need to patch many mismatched pieces of image downloaded piece by piece from the Dss jukebox by setting different Right Ascension, and Declension numbers, for each of the different pieces which eventually numbered dozens.

GRAVITIC SEAS

A conjectural base termed Gravitic Seas - you might call it theoretical moved uphill from conjectural - allowing for formations such as giant ovals and the Bullseye, is here.

A possible cause for a super giant oblong oval with ripples near Andromeda is a sideswiping (glance-by) collision with the Triangulum galaxy. See strong evidence supporting such a collision here.

GIANT ARTIFICIAL CIRCLES, VRS COHERENT OVAL

  giant stetched oval near Andromeda   The point of showing a giant circle near galaxy Ngc 2915 is that it is contained in one Dss 60' x 60' frame, whereas the oval at Andromeda (left) stretches through roughly 12 frames each 60' x 60' or portion thereof, suggesting the oval is a far more substantial artifact in terms of arcminute size, and if gut instinct is correct, was captured in more that one Dss photo in such a way that the oval stayed coherent, making it possible to reconstruct by compositing, making it impossible to be a squeezed artificial light stab by the telescope, the only other possible being a wrinkle in the negative or positive print of the film. But I can't see this, even though many an astronomer will see this giant oval at Andromeda as false, they will say so, on first sight.

If more than one photo plate is involved, the same emulsion and spectrum frequencies were used for sequence of plates, capturing thus the oval stretching across several photo shoots, which is good, this is excellent, in which case we know it is real in deep space.

If each plate was immense, the giant oval on a single pane, but the fact that the Andromeda portions are checkerboard like Hubble shots, suggests that more than one pane was used that captured the whole of the giant oval, which is the best news, scientifically speaking, since the oval thus is real in deep space due to the simple fact that it spreads across more than one plate photographed by telescope.

This is of course only quesswork on my part since I simply do not know what exists in the way of plates (and plate sizes) in the Dss Internet server.

  sheeting extends to rills   The oval came into view as a complete surprise while pursuing this flare of sheeting extending beyond the end of Andromeda while searching for any signs of the giant Bullseye (of which there were none in these Dss images). In a piece shifted upward in declension, suddenly there were R I L L S .

  sheeting extends to rills  

When I first saw this, I became instantly knocked on the head by something new, (never seeing such an obvious coherent object before). It captured the whole of my attention, I had no choice but to pursue, for days, to find everything I could about it. The knock came to a conclusion in end zones where Dss image fragments and enhancements could go no further.

Having no idea what the rills were, meant no other choice than to pursue as many pieces downloaded as possible until the entirety of this giant object was at hand. Which turned out to be easier said then done, for one thing only a portion of Andromeda contained pieces of the oval. Right next door to good pieces, many Andromeda pieces came down from Dss looking like this (extremely low resolution), other pieces looked like this (much higher resolution but very diffuse and starry with no sharp details to be seen) in both cases no trace of the giant oval could be seen.

Daunting is not a good word to describe the duress of the mounting days due to the confusing inconsistencies between downloaded frames, until gradually (over several days) a consistent pattern in pieces was able to be structured together revealing this.

Finding the oval quota finally, spread through so many 60x60 arcminute frames, helps explain why the resulting patchwork-quilt quality of the Andromeda oval composite has such striking differences in media densities one piece to the next.

Each of the multi-pieces had to be worked in a simple graphics editor (Paint Shop Pro ver. 2.14) in order to try (an impossible task) to make the joinings and marginal overlays as seamless as possible. This fragment shows noticable patch work - no two frames came down from Dss in exactly the same density and brightness, there were subtle sometimes major variations in media in each different frame.

So, that completes the short story including subliminal sobs of frustration counter fueled by the zeal of the search. Stress yes. Satisfaction, that too.

  giant stetched oval near Andromeda   Quilt quality, even after using image adjusters at the most critical knob turning hanks for each piece, yet, density matching couldn't be done, each seam is far from seamless.

***********

Just a bare glimpse of some oval rills are visible in this example, the enhancements rendered this way to show the patchwork. The oval's rills, here horizontal, are at the top right, horizonatal alighnment is the way the pieces came down on the Internet from the Dss jukebox which serves portions of images on demand from co-witted homeworkers like me.

Some of the seams are not perfectly stitched (stars not perfectly overlaying stars) in the making of the full oval composite but these are errors of no substance, the purpose was to show the giant oval in toto and not to create a perfectly professional composite without seams which was an impossible task due to hard media differences between frames dished from Dss.

  Andromeda portion only attached to full giant oval image   I know that some stars do not position perfectly correct at the seams due to the sheer awesome trouble I had trying to match star patterns to make seams in overlays and joins in the first place. Believe me the eyeballs were extended like eyestalks on lobsters trying to piece in some of the patches to make a master composite showing the whole oval with useable part of Andromeda - only the upper right side of Andromeda could be found in media matches of kind which contained the oval, any other segment of Andromeda shifted abruptly to an entirely different media, it was this now, which continued through a very large range below and to the left of Andromeda which was was hardly understandable as a galaxy so low quality was this other half area of Andromeda, upper center, the smaller   Rills, or fingerprints   blobs may be fingerprints on the film or rills and circular media depressions revealed by chance by the extreme low resolution, since originals (before histogram Equalize) barely showed anything including an Andromeda. These blobs were explored in use to see if there was any connection to any blob and the Bullseye.

Sometimes a search through different Right Ascensions and Declensions would endzone in complete nonesense, which came up while pursuing this to see if it meant anything.

I believe giant ovals really exist in deep space. I do not buy the quick dismissal that they are merely telescope lens artifacts creating circles of light around bright objects. The only dismissal I might acknowledge is if large negative plates were held in place by vacuum in the telescope's camera and slight irregularities in the vacuum pressure produced local areas of moire refractions artificially imbued in the image.

In the case of the Andromeda oval, since it is so large (as large as Andromeda itself) the false image concept is diminished by the seeming fact that several plates were used in the Dss overview to photograph this very nearby region in deep space and it becomes difficult to picture how a coherent structure can be sustained through several plates by different vacuum pressure irregularities.

The only clause I can allow for this is if one giant plate was used which then becomes parsed into 60' x 60' portions for dishing as downloads to the public from Dss download sites.

The real case of plates is at question. A plate will arrive downloaded at a specific media density and content seen at once by act of Histogram Equalize. The same area up or down slightly, or shifted left or right slightly, will result in a downloaded 60' x 60' frame which can be substantially different, lighter or darker, then the prior frame shifted only slightly in data specs.

Further, with one more slight shift the image quality can abruptly change dramatically to an entirely different master plate either much higher in diffuse data resolution, or very much lower, in either case the oval no longer seen. At times it was possible to unexpectedly pull down higher resolution frames from a Dss download site in which no oval or oval trace is seen.

All of these variables suggest that one of the sky surveys happened to use frequencies that captured the oval at Andromeda.

A GIANT DEEP SPACE OVAL NEAR ANDROMEDA

In this document, several images are shown more than once in links. If you study this document in depth, you will understand why. Caution, some of the linked images are unusually large and will take longer than usual time loading from the Internet.

A giant oval exists in deep space to the east of Andromeda. This is a second formation made of 'rills' and is east of the Bullseye. Unlike the Bullseye, which seems to be travelling along with and being transfigured by Andromeda, the oval is more what can be expected if a large object (say a galaxy such as the 'Triangulum') punched abruptly into higher density in deep space media when (if) brushing past Andromeda in a fender bender, resulting in a stupendous circular 'sonic boom' in gravity waves spreading out in one ever expanding set of close together concentric rings.

  oval blue enhanced for clarity     a dot cluster configuration is highlighted     same cluster highlighted in the Bullseye     the oval in black and white     oval with Andromeda and M110  

A portion shown in green, has a cluster configuration matched by the same configuration seen in media of a totally different photograph, in an Andromeda Bullseye image.

The most difficult challenge was to try to find where the oval was sitting with respect to the Bullseye at Andromeda. A tiny area having three bright clusters found in high haze in an image of the oval, was found in an identical small area within a Bullseye image in which the three clusters group is more easily seen.

This has been the only definative connection I was able to make with absolute certainty which is able to show the oval's much larger relative size at some distance to the east of Andromeda, compared to the Bullseye which surrounds the eastern flank of Andromeda itself.

There are many singular objects at Andromeda which can be used as markers and references between different images, but in the case of the giant oval the overblast result of Histrogram image adjusting, made singular small objects impossible to match up without unambiguity, except for the matching of the configuration of three small bright objects.

The oval is in somewhat the same angular declination as the Bullseye relative to the plane and declination of Andromeda proper.

Click on images below for large size. Use the 3-dot cluster configuration for reference between the two different images.

The Bullseye at the eastern flank of Andromeda. Use the 3-dot cluster configuration (very small at far right edge of image) for reference.

  Bullseye, and whole Andromeda  

The original Bullseye image, shown in reduced size here, ends where you see the right edge. As you can see in the large blue enhanced version above, not all of the Bullseye has been captured in the original frame. And, as you can see via the next zoom, the oval is located further to the right from the central nexes of the Bullseye which means the two (Bullseye and oval) are separate unrelated phenomena.

The far east limb of Andromeda, and oval beyond, to correct scale. Two areas in the zoom are artificially color toned (green contains the 3-dot cluster configuration, blue highlights upper tip of the oval).

  cluster and tip of oval  

As you can also see, spectrum frequencies used to photograph the oval by telescope did not capture any of the frequencies that embody the Bullseye. The oval is much bigger - what we can see of the Bullseye is an object smaller in scale than the much larger oval. Also, the Bullseye rill lines are broader and spread farther apart.

The sense is that both Bullseye and oval lines are actions of gravity waves in gravitic seas. Main difference is the oval lines are gradually dissipating and fading away, whereas Bullseye lines are an active formation tied to Andromeda and are continuing to transmute, transform, and shift in keeping with Andromeda's motionary and evolutionary processes.

However, since only a portion of Andromeda is visible in Dss frames which contain oval fragments, it is not easy to guage at a glance the relative scale of the oval compared to the whole of Andromeda. Second in concideration is that the Bullseye seems clearly attached or associated with Andromeda, whereas the oval is not, that is, it lays further away and has no apparent connection to any Andromeda larger scale structure including any of Andromeda in the dark matter or hidden mass ranges assumed to extend well beyond the hot and bright portions of galaxies.

  large diffuse area extends from Andromeda's east side  

In this image (more linked here), a larger scale structure of Andromeda extends east and south in a wide diffuse sweep, thought perhaps by astronomers to be residuals of a passing glance engineered by the Triangulum galaxy. The resolution in the above, showing the diffuse sweep at Andromeda, is too low to locate the 3-dot cluster configuration so it is inappropriate here to try and insert a location of the oval within or alongside the diffuse sweep.

  flipped, the left half shows a major symmetry distortion  

Flipping the image, and enhancing it in favor of blue tones, seems to suggest an Andromeda which has been hammered on the left side including along the lower left flank as if sideswiped. (Just an opinion).

EVENTS LEADING TO UNCOVERING THE OVAL

Images of the oval have been rotated right by 90 degrees to bring Andromeda into the same alignment as the galaxy seen in the Bullseye and most other Andromeda images. This flip is mentioned because Andromeda portions coming down from Dss were all oriented in a different alignment than that normally used by astronomers and astronomy enthusiasts to show Andromeda, so, all the Dss image portions downloaded had to be systematically re-oriented before being useable.

  glimpse of oval end     dss original     more of the oval     oval glimpsed by another enhancement  

A glimpse of the Andromeda oval was seen here, when the Dss original was enhanced by Histogram Equalize. Nothing ovular or attention grabbing is seen in the Dss original. More of the oval is seen here. This is another
Dss 60' x 60' frame further right, about 1/2 way over to M110.

At this point, hereafter, Dss images, each piece was downloaded and a composite eventually created which was then rotated 90 degrees to the right with Andromeda plus M110 presented in alignment more typically used by astronomers for Andromeda's.
(See at left. Recognize this galaxy?)

Since the second glimpse shows only a long section of track stretching horizontally in a full sized 60' x 60' Dss frame, you can grasp the magnitude and scope of the oval's size with respect to nearby deep space, and the challenge the two fragments represented in deciding to go for gold and try to compile a composite showing as much of the oval as possible. Here is another glimpse, the right end. These glimpses are reduced to 1/2 size for easier seen display.

  Dss densities containing the giant oval (not seen here)   The challenge succeeded in that the whole of the oval was located in about a dozen Dss pieces but it was not possible to produce a whole vision of Andromeda in the same media density and same telescope setup. Here is what came down from the Dss jukepox in pieces containing the oval and portions of Andromeda, M110 so large and bright at the lower right, almost looking merged with Andromeda.

  Dss image densities inconsistencies   Here is what was coming down for the rest of Andromeda, only some shown here no point in showing any more. The lower piece is ovbiously of another photoshoot having far more resolution, the rest though seeming similar to the above Andromeda fragments are a lot hotter and it took a great deal of effort on my part piecing these few fragements together jigsaw fashion. I was after a better look at the two small galaxies on the rear side of Andromeda but could not get decent consistent photoshoots of that area from the Dss jukebox, so I finally abandoned the attempt.

The attempt was fueled by a firm belief in me that the small round galaxy has actually sidled up through the disk of Andromeda in a very roiled area to the left of Andromeda's core, and is now drifting, a long trail of roils and streamers in rivers pulled up in passage through, then out beyond over the rear edge, where it is now.

Unfortunately the Dss image had not the detail I was after showing an exact emergence as the small galaxy rifted through the Andromeda surface.

I have to comment here in a hicupping proviso, that I have seen Andromeda images in which the emergence of Sun Ra, the small satellite galaxy, is not so certain, but have not yet seen anything forcing me to abandon the idea that Sun Ra has sailed up through Andromeda entering free space off the left end of Andromeda's core and is now drifting backwards into rearspace trailing strings and tendrils of roil gravitationally ripped from Andromeda and conversly being stripped from Sun Ra.

Here a flea meets a heavy cement barge and completely rearranges the barge's handlebars. Here is the size of the flea that crunched the barge. Here is a peanut being slammed by an faster moving avocada (I think the bigger galaxy is moving faster), crunching the peanut.

Since Sun Ra is the faster traveller, most of the roil is being dragged from Andromeda. This is usually the way, the faster high speed traveller imparts more wreckage on the slower or more stationary larger partner in a fender bender. In the case of the 'Fish' colliding galaxies, the reverse seems to be happening, the larger more bulky object may be faster travelling, relatively speaking, and is slamming the hell out of the smaller galaxy in the collision.

Next are four views in progressive zooms showing what I can supporting conjecture that the small Sun Ra galaxy punched through Andromeda.





Notice how many white dots stand above the surface, bright dots typically trend to stand forth from a galaxy's surface but you cannot see this until merging two side by side images in overlay, which dramatically intensifies accute perceptions of details.


FINDING THE OVAL FAST

The oval fragments were revealed in an instant by simply hitting an original Dss image (which shows nothing but bright dots and hazes against all-black backgrounds) with Histogram Equalize (I used Paint Shop Pro ver 2.14 on a Windows 98 pc). The oval segments instantly sprang to light via super high contrasts that existed between light and dark, in the original Dss black images.

To affirm that the oval segments were not merely an artificial creation of Histogram Equalize, the same Dss original was enhanced by other Paint Shop Pro adjusting means, including increased Color density, higher Gamma Correction, and slight Brightness reduction in company with high Contrast increases. The result is an image which again shows the oval, in this view the left-end segment.

A strong glimpse like that is enough to indicate that a very large artifact extends at a sharply declented angle beyond the eastern edge of Andromeda at some distance from Andromeda itself. The oval is large enough that an image encampassing the oval in total also includes satellite galaxy M110 (seeming very small), and the east side of Andromeda.

CASUAL DISCUSSION AND PROBLEMS

The Dss images which contained the oval in more than a dozen patches of 60'x 60' each, do not produce a complete Andromeda, the left half portion is missing from the Dss patches and other patches from other Dss surveys are available of significantly different media and grade, dished for the rear side of Andromeda, such that a complete Andromeda image which also shows the full oval cannot be composited from the images I was able to find available in the winter of year 2001 at Dss public download sites.

In fact the exact image dished by Dss for any given portion of Andromeda one day to the next (or even one hour to the next) seemed to vary at more than one Dss public download sites so it was quite a task to find enough similar Dss images to piece together the oval. Because of the uncertainty in the Dss archives I am declining to cite exact references, links, co-ordinates, and parameters used to obtain oval image patches.

My information would probably be very misleading in toto. Best that you comb Dss sites yourself for patches containing the oval near Andromeda. The patching I was able to complete can be easily seen in media density differences one frame part joined in composite to a next. Given such uncertainty I settled for a complete show of the oval itself rather than for an attempted serious examination of the oval's details.

REASON FOR BLUE ENHANCEMENT

The oval is sometimes being shown in strong blue enhancement because the oval's overall master shape seems more easily seen in strong blue contrasts. The surrounding grey tone black and white portions are original Dss images enhanced by Histogram Equalize to reveal the oval at a glance. Dss original frames enhanced by other means (such as Gamma Correction) were able to show very faint traces of the oval but the Histogram Equalize version shows the oval in stark contrasts at a glance.

As already said, a concerted effort using different image adjusting techniques one after the other was able to show the oval but nowhere as succinctly as seen via simple Histogram Equalize.

By the time the oval image including Andromeda was composited, the image's file size had grown to a monster of 27 Meg in a resolution of 7000 x 7000 for width and height, whose dimensions used over 125 Meg when loaded in Paint Shop Pro - clearly a nearly impossible situation for an ordinary graphics editor in a Windows 98 desktop PC (mine).

It was possible to continue to copy and past small segments into the big template but the image portion of the template itself could not be isolated by cut and paste - attempts simply plugged up the computer and computer re-boots were frequent during this stage in compositing. On one lucky day the image portion allowed itself to be cut and pasted as a new file with a same resolution in a filesize now roughly 5000 x 5000, which is still far too unwieldy for the Internet. To illustrate another problematic variable, the oval's bandwidths (tracks) are so narrow that the oval can completely disappear below a certain resolution.

For instance here is a resolution version of 2000 x 1882 in which the oval (stretching horizontally across the upper frame) is clearly seen. Whereas a resolution of 700 x 659 shows not a trace of the oval due to the oval's narrow bandwidths.

Shown here, is my working copy, a reduced version shrunken to 1/2 size, with a resulting file size of just 3.3 Meg which is readily manageable in both the pc computer and as an image link on the Internet. The original of 27 Meg filesize is still here in another directory for future reference if needed. In fact, you can download it here.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

I am back to using older Paint Shop Pro ver. 2.12 due to designer constraints impossed by later versions of Paint Shop Pro. Specifically, ver. 2.12 is not yet evolved to having seemless transfers between file protocals, for instance a black and white image re-enhanced with colors will noticably degrade when being file-saved. Ver. 2.14 had solved this problem. However, it (ver. 2.14) which I had been using for several years, one day in the beginning of year 2001 was suddenly locked out with a prompt stating my free trial period had ended (after several years) and there seemed nothing I could do to recover a usable version.

A store bought copy of ver. 6.0 was installed and woe woe it was very different, it had icons all around the borders, its file opening and management system had been completely re-engineered, and so on, adverse results including having to do up to 7 steps to complete an event instead of just the one or two steps needed for the same event in the earlier version. The solution was to re-install the ver. 2.14 version, which still continued to be locked out, then move a ver. 2.12 Psp.exe engine into the installation and behold I had an older version of PSP up and running again with steps I could do lightning fast in my intuitive nature.

The trade off is that image conversions in file format protocals or black and white to color slightly degrade, you can see the change instantly on screen. This I can live with since most of the Science Anomaly project was finished at the time the PSP catastrophe occurred. Such is progress. It continues to be bewildering to find software engineers intent on showing off their stuff who forget the bottom line, the end user, and the best simplistic features a program once had.

COMPLETELY CANDID

From a scientific point of view let us be perfectly frank that there is redundancy in the above dialogues but then again who else has to show such a giant oval near Andromeda declaring evidence and details which come from one source only. Encores accepted. Thank you, scrape, bow.

EGREGIOUSLY CANDID

I know that pros who spend weeks deciding between two equations will find the preceeding outtakes on a film clip about a giant oval near Andromeda as exciting as a carefully detailed description on how to wash your car. Concider the other part of the world extending off your other elbow. People out there by the teeming uncounted have probably experienced the same kind of lesser utility hitbacks that I did downloading and compositing Andromeda parts, and what went through the thoughts hour after hour trying to piece the parts together and make sense of the result. For all those teeming uncounted, and not the equation pro, I dedicate this page.
