Funny where our pictures end up :)

A little while ago I posted an image of M97 on here, and a couple of related facebook sites.

While testing some web software at work today I had cause to google my own name, and a whole load of blog sites etc with my image on came out in the results.

For instance: http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/astronomy?before=1337222769

Have a try yourself, you might be surprised how far your pictures travel in cyberspace. I certainly got more likes and reblogs than I did on SGL

Cheers

Wow, good call.

I googled my name put it in the images section and a few have come up mainly related to SGL or flickr, S@N type of thing that is my own doing.

But I found one of mine here, it's the daylight Moon/Jupiter shot in the last post.

Anyone want to guess what that's all about? Is it in Arabic?

I think they must of got the pic from Spaceweather as it made the home page there.

No it isn't arabic, it is Hebrew!!(yiddish)

shalom, Den.

Ahh, thanks.

Please excuse my ignorance, how embarrasing. Not really the kind of mix up you want to make.

I haven't come across much of either before.

Fortunately if i google my name it comes up with a guitarist from that group that had a hit with Kayleigh

shalom, Den.

Psst...

Hebrew and Yiddish aren't the same thing

Hebrew is the language of Israel and the Jewish religion. Yiddish is a type of German originating with the Ashkenazi Jewish population and is a fusion of some regional German dialects, Hebrew and Slavic and a wonderfully expressive language in it's own right. It's sometimes written using the Hebrew alphabet though

I stand corrected.

A couple of years ago, I found one of my Comet McNaught pics on an arab astronomical site. I didn't feel so bad as I was given full credit for it.

Hey - I put my name in and went to images and guess what - absolutely zilch !! How sad am I lol?

Interestingly, when I posted this one up, I put a copyright line with it, and in the main that has been kept. I haven't bothered in the past, but will in future I think, assuming the sky ever clears again :s

Good on you for the Breast Cancer photo Kev, we all need to be able to laugh at ourselves!

I just googled myself and apparently I am an American actress. You live and learn as I certainly don't get asked for autographs when I'm out and I would love to know where they have hidden all my money because its not in my bank account!
