How likely is it that your question has not already been asked, answered, indexed and on the first page of google search with a reasonable query? My guess is very unlikely. So a better question might be, and it’s something you could ask here, “I’m interested in understanding X, but not sure how to find reliable information about it, what search terms should I try?” The relevant part of stack overflow could also be a good candidate for such a question. Even at their unfriendliest, they might close your question as a duplicate or off-topic, but still provide a link to the similar questions asked.

Your guess is spot-on. My question needs some details and can hardly be summarized into a neat google query.
OK, so it’s hard to describe what X be like; but this picture is the inspiration of my pondering: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap160911.html
The simplest form of my inquiry would be along the line of “What happens next?”. In that case, what do you think X is?
APOD has a comment on the daily image section and (IIRC) a number of forums for posing questions. Why not ask there?
Just tried. No responds so far. I think the APOD forum is even less visited than LW, so the reach is really short.
