Fun thing to see today! 6:03 Eastern 3 Pacific
I was expecting this post. Here it is in all its ultra-high definition glory.

It’s funny, I think space and stuff is really cool, astrology especially, but I don’t like too think about it too deeply. The active knowledge that we’re hurtling through space at ridiculous speeds and that the sun is a STAR that will burn out someday kinda creeps me out…
These kind of pictures do too : http://www.universetoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/solarsystem1.jpg
Space (but not astrology!) is cool. I wish I had the mind of a brilliant astro or particle physicist. I would love to be able to dance intellectually with the unimaginable.
There is an excellent BBC two-part documentary about the universe called Everything and Nothing. I think you would like it, if you can find it.
