Isn't that amazing? I envy those who live in areas with air clean enough to allow one to see even a tease of the Milky Way...

Go up into the mountains, above the smog and you can probably see cool stuff too We live at the base of a 7000' mountain and have drove up to the summit and set my telescope up and have seen some amazing stuff in the night sky | |

| Thats just one of the reasons I love the fact that I got the hell out of the city. Unless there is cloud cover, I get a damn good view of the stars. |

| you need to click the gif. it explains the picture, that picture is a small spot in the sky where no stars could be seen, and in that hubble picture is 10,000 galaxies, and each galaxy has up to one trillion stars.

Besides, I don't remember "thou shalt not believe in visitors from other celestial bodies" in the bible... Carl is (was) the man. Which book are you refering to? I've got "the Pale Blue Dot". | |
