I've said similar before, just been viewing the night sky with a telescope, there's summat about our Solar System with all the cool stuff up there that blows my mind more than anything in the world.

 

Seriously if I could, I would love to go up and see with my own eyes, maybe one day people will visit places like Mars, but they haven't even got the machine or the right spacesuits yet, Saturn is an amazing planet, with it's surrounding rings and moons, to think our Solar System is just a small part of the universe is unreal, Earth is a tiny spec, if that.

 

 

Anymore space geeks on here

Not bad Gonzo until you start to read the inane witterings of the God Squad below.

 

Why do they feel the need to shove their beliefs down everyones throat? Never understood it.

 

Nice photos anyway.

This one knocked me particularly sick!

 

'How awesome is our God and how wonderful that you can share these pictures with us, they are so incredibly beautiful, Thank you for what you are doing. As I look at the great barrier reef on our Australian shores, I see a wonderful tree set in the beauty of opal. Let it be a tree of healing?'

 

Fantastic photo's though Gonzo - reet enjoyed looking at them!

Bear in mind you can use this site to look for passes of the space station:

Easily visible to the naked eye, takes a minute or two to pass over

Edit:

This is a pic I took of it a few years back in me garden - put the camera on 15 second exposure and hoped for the best!

It's a photo of your washing line, isn't it?

Amazing stuff that...

 

String theory is also worth a look ^^^. For me a multidimensional universe (above and beyond the 4 dimensions we observe) is the most satisfactory explanation. I recently spoke to a lifelong muslim about this and from what I could gather the distinction between a 'god' and a 'dimension' isn't actually that different. Am agnostic myself. Fascinating stuff to hypothesise about anyroad.

 

Carl Sagan's Cosmos was also a decent tv show for those into that sort of stuff.

So, how do you explain Gareth Bale then?

 

He's a cartoon out of Gorillaz, so that would be Damon Albarn. "I got sunshine . . . . etc."
