Mind officially blown
 
All those years looking up at a hazy area of the sky, just a little brighter than the rest of the sky. They said it was the Milky Way. And I know what galaxies look like, but somehow I didn't put 2 and 2 together... didn't realize that a set of 20-second exposures, taken overnight from the darkest sky in Texas, and pasted together, might show you...

Oh, that's a good one.

My brother sent me a similar link the other day. http://www.theskyinmotion.com/

You'll probably like a lot of those too.

The stars must be burning out like light bulbs, 'cause there were sure a lot more of them when I was a kid. :haha:

You mean, did it look like a giant vagina?:rolleyes:

And you all thought that the supreme being who gave birth to the universe was male?:lol2:

We get a pretty good view of the milky way from down here.

Does this mean that chick I used to date is God?

I like that one. I can't see UT's post.

Awesome! Those links could have their own thread. IotN, perhaps. ;)

"The arc of the Milky Way seen from a truly dark location is part of our planet's natural heritage," said Connie Walker, and astronomer from the U.S. National Optical Astronomy Observatory in Tucson, Arizona.

Yet "more than one fifth of the world population, two thirds of the U.S. population and one half of the European Union population have already lost naked eye visibility of the Milky Way."

Wow, that was beautiful. Thanks, UT. I have a friend who loves pix and such of galaxies and such. He'll love this link.
