yeah chapter 1 aboutthe beginning of the universe...those picture hehe...

800 galaxies in a shot, and then 5000 , and then the next is 5 million galaxies...

100 billion galaxies so far and some are travelling at 1000 miles a second this stuff is just a fun mind trip.

one of our satellites will come within a trillion (inconsequential) miles of our closes star in 20,000 years and because its travelling so fast towards us it will cut 200,000 years off the travel time...

I love this stuff hehe. The next couple of chapters are greek history and shit, but skip into einstein and newton and they should be interesting

i'm taking an astronomy course at the moment.. very interesting subject.

it makes me sad sometimes, though.. when you realise how big the universe really is. i mean, it's almost unimaginable.. billions and billions of galaxies

astronomy is cool stuff. i wish i was a genius and could like look at the sky and realize that it works the way it does like the old school astronomer dudes...that's awesome...
