Just A Bit More So Our UK Pals Can See - Live Long And Prosper!

It's very clear everyone feels a pull toward space, a fascination, perhaps a remnant of ancient memory? Here's a link to where I'm able to find alot of additional information for my "space posts" and you'll be looking at pictures no one on earth can see without the most powerful telescope in space (not Hubble, too much trouble).  It's the Spitzer Spacescope and when you click on this AOL-supplied, 10-picture video show, feast your eyes on a star that went supernova 400 years ago, you can see what it looked like at the very moment!  See the "space snake" - gaze at the hundreds of thousands of stars at the center of our own Milky Way - watch a star forming in the constellation Casseopeia - a baby star nursery - and picture #6 is what it'll look like when our Milky Way "collides" with our closest galaxy, Andromeda.  PLEASE READ the caption to each picture if you would, it'll amaze you I promise.

Awsome pictures.
Here I was asking that you spare a thought for us in this side of the pond and it comes on out TV that Scotland is one of the best sites in Europe for seeing the sky at night due to the lack of light glare which torments most of Europe.
Scot's children are now being introduced to the idea of Sky watching.
Strange world eh?
Thanks for those picture links Cathy
