What Is This Object on the Titan Rocket?

In summary: It looks like a jet engine intake.Air intakes for jet engines are typically very straight and tall, in order to maximize the airflow into the engine.

Are you always so broad in your answers? I need the type of cell to award any points

Fibroblast cells.
If anyone else guessed it, you probably wouldn't make them give more detail, would you?

Um...I don't know for sure. But...you are the biology guru and so I expect more from you. Being knowledgeable is a double edge sword my dear...but I am sure you're smart enough to get it anyways.

Well, I was trying to decide if there was some polarity to them or not. If they're not fibroblasts, then must be neural.Edit: oops, yomamma was too fast for me.

I should have gotten it on my first guess, but for some reason I second-guessed myself and thought you wouldn't be that obvious putting neural cells up with a neurobiologist playing along.Townsend said:See...you would have gotten it on your second guess...

I'd guess lactobacillus, but I'm not completely sure. Definitely some sort of bacillus variety (since that's the rather generic term for rod-shaped bacteria).

I think from the picture you would be looking up at it. Perhaps it is the railing along a pier for ships to dock at. Just a guess...

What kind of pier has white railing?
Can I just guess that it's a pier in general?
