I've been reading about the increase in solar flares too. I got PIR to register, now if I could only get him to show up.

damn that's trippy as hell

reminds me of star trek bigtime

It's like i'm hanging on the bottom of the enterprise as it orbits...

whoops dropped my retainer there.

what is that shit that flies by about halfway through? Is that the comet they mentioned or was that satellites or something?

looked like a bunch of shit flew away from the earth

something beautiful for today:



Most Amazing High Definition Image of Earth - Blue Marble 2012 by NASA Goddard Photo and Video, on Flickr

'First Light' Taken by NASA's Newest CERES Instrument on Suomi NPP February 2, 2012 The doors are open on NASA's Suomi NPP satellite and the newest version of the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) instrument is scanning Earth for the first time, helping to assure continued availability of measurements of the energy leaving the Earth-atmosphere system. The CERES results help scientists to determine the Earth's energy balance, providing a long-term record of this crucial environmental parameter that will be consistent with those of its predecessors. In the longwave image, heat energy radiated from Earth (in watts per square meter) is shown in shades of yellow, red, blue and white. The brightest-yellow areas are the hottest and are emitting the most energy out to space, while the dark blue areas and the bright white clouds are much colder, emitting the least energy. Increasing temperature, decreasing water vapor, and decreasing clouds will all tend to increase the ability of Earth to shed heat out to space.

That would be cool. I'd happily expand the sub forum's description or maybe even resurrect his science and hobby forum.

The center of the Milky Way Galaxy tastes like raspberries.

I just buy a package of raspberries whenever i get homesick.
