As I've hinted in some of my posts, I love astronomy, astro-physics, cosmology...sushi, cars, and other stuff, too.
...If you haven't found the impetus to start the new arcadium for pictures, notes & articles relating to the celestial bodies as of yet, and if you'd truly to contribute to one if it were to exist, I just simply ask: where would the best location be, in your opinion, for its nature, topicality and participation? (in my mind, the first three choices that bubble forth are in the Playground, right HERE - tho it might get buried on a daily basis due to all the games, or perhaps in Knowledge and How-To)

We don't have a specifically "science" section so as I consider the various section names we do have, I don't see any where it would fit better than right here. I don't think it would get buried because I'd post in it at least every other day, if not more frequently. If/when you start it, I'll try to make it a point to post in it every day.
Btw, yesterday I tried to download a half gigabyte picture of the moon that was released recently by "
...The work of LROC's wide-angle camera, which provides surface context for those incredible narrow-angle shots, has largely gone unheralded … until now. This past week the team released a new mosaic of the Moon's near side taken entirely with wide-angle frames. Acquired during a two-week period in December, the 1,300 black-and-white frames create a full-disk mosaic measuring 24,000 pixels across. Gulp! But my laptop and/or connection hung up so I'll try again later. Here's a link to the source and below is a greatly reduced version of the photo:
