NASA posted this on its site today. A very cool ten minutes movie about a trip back and forth very far away in the universe. Even from that distance, I think that we can still see Alain Lafrance's huge guitar collection. :D

Once you're logged, clic on february 1st, you should be able to watch the short film. Each day is a different picture. Enjoy.

Made me shudder. Think how empty and sparse it is way out in the universe, and it's relatively the same in your own skin.

Cheers Claude, so very very cool.

I don't know about you guys, but for me, I love these shows, Nova, Science Now, NASA stuff. I even have the Buzz Aldrin app on my iphone. I guess that I'm just a science show freak. :D

I love APOD. There is a program available from U of Mich (I think) that allows the APOD to become wall paper on a PC. I use that program on one of my PCs. Went I get up in the morning, I always have a pleasant surprise

That sounds like a very nice way to liven up a computer. Would you have a link handy to this program?

You're not the only one, Claude :lol: I took a couple of astronomy courses a few years back. Lot of mathy stuff, but the things we were looking at were just fascinating.

Todays shot of the moon over the alps is particularly stunning.
I suggest anyone into photography or art take a look.
