Very cool!

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, 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.

That 10" paraboloic I got suffers from zero attention. It'll be on the back porch all summer even if it ruins it.

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.
