Has Bill Self seen aliens?
Jun 02, 2023 02:30 PM #1

Bill Self was heard saying that Hunter Dickinson plays "out of this world". Could that be a veiled reference to an alien encounter? Has Bill Self made contact with aliens?

I declare this the first KUBuckets post of summer. Out of things to talk about, clearly.

@Kcmatt7 I think he is an alien plant. Can anyone prove he isn't?

@mayjay are alien plants carnivorous? Asking for a friend.

That’s where that red face comes from! Different kind of blood.

Indeed. Inquiring minds want to know. The truth is out there!

FYI. I had heard that Self was holding onto that last scholarship trying to recruit Bigfoot, AKA Harry Stench. He has low basketball IQ, but he is a wide body that will keep players out of the lane.

I'm sure Bill spent some time on Skinwalker Ranch during the off season. Highly anomalous!

@nuleafjhawk My coworker’s friend’s acquaintance told him that he saw Bill fly into Area 51 to visit family and he came out at Skinwalker Ranch. So, I think there is something to it. High Strangeness indeed!

I have it on good authority that he was seen drinking with aliens at the Mos Eisley Cantina. Trying to recruit the ones with 4 arms. Don't know how much HCBS imbibed, but rumor has it he left there looking for Yoda to be a backup 5.

@mayjay winner! You just floored me with yoda backup 5

I really think Jethro's on to something here. Besides the Big Dipper this is the most prominent constellation. If you're uninformed about such topics the constellation is also known as the Hunter.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_(constellation) ↗

Since I play a science teacher in real life I should mention one of Orion's most prominent starts, betelgeuse. It's huge, like really big. If you dropped it into our solar system one edge would touch the sun and the other would touch Jupiter. Earth to sun is 93 million miles or one Astronomical unit. Jupiter to sun is 5 AU's. It's really big. It's the left foot of Orion and so Hunter has a really big foot. When you see its light it started traveling to earth 500 years ago. Imagine!

@wissox and I read yesterday it has signs of going supernova fairly soon!

I wonder if anyone has plotted what the stars would look like from a foreign world and made up that worlds constellations, including our sun.

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

@FarmerJayhawk Wow, spectacular!

All you need is a 3D star map that can be manipulated to put youurself anywhere in the map. Once the star location data is created, shifing perpective and reducing it to 2D should ne easy. I don't know if anyone has invented constellations from those views, though! Cool idea...create a different world's mythology!

This generator (for creating game backgrounds, I guess) looks like it might be able to do it:

I'm sure cosmologists have numerous tools to do it. It would be vital for interstellar navigation. I remember Star Trek (Voyager?) episodes where they had to figure out where they were after going through wormholes, and they used a (CGI) hologram to simulate the galaxy.
