A flight thru the universe
« on: August 19, 2012, 02:38:33 pm »
I found this short video incredible and mesmerizing.   It is the largest sky map on record and was created using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III and covers only 1/3rd of the sky.

The heavens convince me there is no god.

Religion is an insult to human dignity. Without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.--Steven Weinberg

Religion can never reform mankind because religion is slavery--Robert G. Ingersoll

I don't know why people compare George Carlin to God. He's great and all, but he's no George Carlin.-Anon.

There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

That's incredible, and really does show just how vast the universe is.

Every time I see just how big it all is, I remember how small we are. And this little blue marble is all we've got, so we've got no good reason to stop polishing it to a shine.
