What's that video that has commentary and talks you through how miniscule our planet is and zooms out and out into the end of nothing?

**Cyncceply** · 03-23-2011, 05:07 AM

Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot?

**PristisoliTer** · 03-23-2011, 05:46 AM

Holy ****ing ****. That was ****ing painful to watch and listen to.

**WaydayFep** · 03-23-2011, 05:48 AM

This one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17jymDn0W6U ?

**PristisoliTer** · 03-23-2011, 05:54 AM

That was better.

If you haven't already you should check out the TV shows on the BBC by Brian Cox "Wonders of the Solar System" and "Wonders of the Universe".

Make sure you acquire them in HD as the visuals are awesome.

**Lilji** · 03-23-2011, 06:05 AM

Our universe is amazing.

**flowersnewaho** · 03-23-2011, 06:22 AM

Our universe is everything but nothing at same time.

Amazing and it's hard to comprehend the distances. hard? It's impossible to get your mind about it's size.

When are the voyager 1 and 2 going into interstellar space?

**WaydayFep** · 03-23-2011, 06:35 AM

Just think that for every light-year you need to travel at around 670 million mph for a year to cover that distance!

As for Voyager 1 and 2 http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/ Distance on the right [thumbup]

Looks like they are both in the Heliosheath.

**flowersnewaho** · 03-23-2011, 06:41 AM

Thx for the Voyager 1&2 link.

I prefer watching him in "Super Troopers" in HD.

I swear to God I'm going to pistol whip the next guy who says, " Shenanigans!"

Thanks, mate, 16 light hours down, 4 1/2 light years to go... [thumbup]

From there you can find out if, and when, you can see the Space Station overhead.

Wrong Brian Cox.

Carl Sagan.

Are you serious ?
I happen to have read the book and thought that particular part was very touching and actually well, beautifully written.

**PristisoliTer** · 03-23-2011, 11:51 PM

I believe it is because of Mr.Sagan. His tone that sounds like a person with a sinus as well as being depressed....is just torture for me to endure.
