  • Your total perspective vortex Is playing havoc with my cortex
  • My God -- it's full of stars.
  • I now know more about the universe than any mere mortal has a right to, thanks to Professor Richard Pogge, of Ohio State University. Check out the podcasts: Astronomy 161: An Introduction to Solar System Astronomy. Astronomy 162: Introduction to Stars, Galaxies, and the Universe.
  • So damn insignificant.
  • I had no idea Groombridge was so close. *goes to borrow a cup of space sugar*
  • Trac, I must tagline your comment. MonkeyFilter: So damn insignificant. *clears throat *ahem* Anyway, as the Capt rightly said, "It's full of stars." Many, many, many twinkly stars. Wander, those are great links. I've picked out a few that looked good. Dunno if I'll listen to all of them, but the two I did were dandy. Back to gazin'. *tilts head back, uncrosses eyes
  • Awesome Hank, just Awesome. This is a treat for all us amature star gazers.
  • Excellent links. I've said it before many times, and I'll say it again... "Stars occupy minute areas of space. They are scattered a few billion here, and a few billion there, as if seeking solace in numbers..." /hawkwind
