Thanks for posting these astonishing pictures.Linda Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070050388987072100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-17065808343693175772011-03-28T10:58:54.684-05:002011-03-28T10:58:54.684-05:00Trip the light fantastic.

Even more amazing when you incorporate time into the equation - the universe is 13 billion years old, and humans have only existed for about 100,000 years (even less if you narrow the definition of "human" to just homo sapiens. The entire history of human existence, from the most ancient "caveman" civilizations to the present, is little more than a dot on a timeline of that scale.<br /><br />Can't help but wonder what else (or who else?) might be out there...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-77591828955027202662011-03-28T05:17:25.262-05:002011-03-28T05:17:25.262-05:00Having spent most of my youth and adulthood in a b...Having spent most of my youth and adulthood in a bustling city I was unaware that there even were "stars" until I was nearly 40 years old!<br /><br />And then one night in Cape Town (where there was relatively little night-light pollution) I saw a total eclipse of the moon ... and someone pointed out some of the constellations to me - I couldn't believe how ignorant I was!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-84309345316197081282011-03-28T05:03:03.237-05:002011-03-28T05:03:03.237-05:00Fabulous pictures!!
