Ha.

If you are interested in an all age appropriate video I did that is astronomy related, send me a PM and you shall receive for Sunday. I had some fun messing around with the demo of Pinnacle video editing software, when done I even got over the crashes and an export stopping bug that had me tracking it down for days.

Just watched Daddyo's video, and it was definitely worth checking out. I encourage everyone else here to contact him for the download link...you'll be glad you did. Download it and watch it on full screen with headphones...very trippy!

Agreed, a very interesting video. Shows just how small earth is, and how big the rest of the universe is. I too would recommend pming him to have the link for the video.

Scroll down to the middle of this next link http://kepler.nasa.gov/about/1stlight/ffi.html and click on the 28 mb link (or here http://kepler.nasa.gov/about/1stlight/i ... t_full.jpg). See if you can find Waldo.

95 megapixel space camera. You're going to hear about this on the news over the next few years.

Now if it doesn't find Earth size planets, scientists are going to freak big time and I'll be in church every Sunday.

That's pretty amazing. I'm going to make a detailed replica of this on my living room walls.

Pretty cool stuff, another thing to give me an excuse slack off work and get an interest in. I want a where's waldo book with pictures like this in it. Mind you, the book would be bigger than my house.

Wow... that picture loaded so slowly, I thought I was on a dialup connection again.
Definitely worth it though!
It's amazing. You can certainly pick out some galaxy shaped forms in that image.

I tried but couldnt see anything, it looks like just noise to me. I think they intentionally blur the image to help improve the errors in measuring light intensity (something like that).

It isn't really a good looking image, but sure is amazing how many stars you can see just looking at a small section of the sky, and I think are mostly just stars in the milky way.
