Thought this slideshow might interest a few people, esp. if you have a high-bandwidth connection:

Very interesting. :D

Did you notice, though, that about halfway through there's a slide which is captioned

unexplained dark 'dust globules' in a region of IC2944 full of massive new stars

I can explain it! Dust on the sensor, a classic case. Time for NASA to get the PecPads and Eclipse out! :lol:

Heh heh ... some of those pics looked a bit noisy too. They need to run 'em through Neat Image. :lol:

I thought the presentation was very good. I like that kind of stuff though.

Think I can get that kind of stuff w/ my Digital Rebel? I'm sure I'll have to use a tripod. :lol:

Amazing stuff. I really liked the music, too. It really provided an eerie counterpoint to the pictures.

[Jemmind]

that was the most awesome thing I've seen in a long while!

No tripod required... just the RC-1 infared remote and a really big slingshot ;-)
