Bad. Ass.
The Nebulas in Ohio suck. So does the technology.
I should be able to have a Medusa Nebula in a jar by now. What do I get instead? A spider or a grasshopper, or some other stupid animal that nobody cares about.
It sure as hell ain't gonna be a Bantha. Not even an elephant dressed up like a Bantha.
These are some of the many reasons why I'd get in the very first visiting spaceship that was taking volunteers. Anal probe and all. I do not care.

Very cool thanks for posting.

I just grabbed the Sky View app, I'm having way too much fun with it, for a free app it's great, hell I would have paid a few bucks for it, it's well worth checking out in the app store.

If y'all like this and aren't aware of APOD, the Astronomy Picture of the Day (http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html), I recommend you check it out.

Ads, check out pocket universe. I've had it since I got my very first iphone. I have loved it ever since.
It has really re-introduced me to the stars and constellations. Super easy to use, you'd love it.
I make fun a lot, like earlier, but there's nothing I love like space. :tu
That 10" paraboloic I got suffers from zero attention. It'll be on the back porch all summer even if it ruins it. :tu

Just thinking in terms of size. Our sun is pretty small and ordinary compared to other stars that we know about.

I'd get a nice telescope myself, but where I live there's so much light pollution that you can hardly see anything but the major stuff like planets, maybe the nebula in Orion's belt, and that's it.
