If you’ve already been to this site, good for you. If not, enjoy some really spiffy pictures. note = the archives go back a LOOOOOONG time so there’s a lot of cool stuff to see.:victoly:
That London pic was awesome I see what you mean about the gunshot effect, though I too love astronomy, the solar system in particular, if I had a decent enough telescope I could sit and stare at the heavens all night, provided it wasn’t raining…
I want to dig out my old crappy telescope now: It’s in a closet here somewhere, collecting dust.
There’s a reason why I prefer the nightsky to the day’s: It’s pretty.
I have a bigger version of the ‘World at Night’ image should anyone be interested.
I’m a personal fanatic of Astronomy. Ever since I was a kid I’ve been collcting pictures and stuff. To bad my country isn’t in the best position o see the good stuff.
I can’t believe you said that! Check the link I put in my first post and try getting a sky map, man, you’ll see you’re in a very good position to see a lot of things.
Stargazing is great. I love having a new moon at a place I vacation in Baja, you can see the faintest stars and it is fairly bright from nothing more than stars. It really gives a sense of just how enourmous the universe really is.
<img src=“http://www.rpgclassics.com/staff/tenchimaru/td.gif”> I have a telescope, but it usually is too cloudy here to see anything, and I can’t really set it up anywhere besides my roof or my bedroom window. Note that there are no stairs to my roof, so climbing up there is rather dangerous.
