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 , 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 :eek: |
