Nice! The downloadspeed for the 200mb JPEG is incredible! Goes with over 1mb/s for me.

These images make me wonder if other extraterestrials have any such hobby like Head-Fi ???

I just ordered my first Headphone from Nebulon, its the Quasar 2500 with new drivers made out of plutonito. Heard you have to run them like 3 years to fully break them in. It you want to find the store I ordered them from its in galaxy number 21,332. Give em a call they had them for only 46 clamdaks!

Antares is the 15th brightest star in the sky. It is more than 1000 light years away.

It's a good thing that I'm the center of my universe, otherwise I'd feel awfully small.

Wow thanks for the comparison pix mbriant... I want to comment on my new reflections on life but I'm speechless...

Wow... those pictures are amazing. Man even if Antares is 1000 light years away, do you think with its massive size that some of the temperature we get comes from it?

Antares is not that hot, and is of much lower density than the sun. A big red cosmic souffle, if you prefer.

x2. Those pictures must be a little old though, I saw a Pluto in there

. Perhaps the Earth has grown in size since they were last rendered

.

It's unbelievable that the Earth isn't even close to a pixel compared to Antares; amazing stuff!

I can't open the TIFF. I'm so sad.

AUGH! Photoshop died on me, so did Preview, Safari quit in fear...

EDIT: iPhoto is slowly chewing through the image... I hope it perserveres.

Not quite 50,000 galaxies, but this was what I thought of immediately when I saw your thread title:

For those who don't know the great Frank Chu, check him out:

Shhh Voltron. 12 Galaxies has him enough freaked out. Man I remember when his territory was Oakland, in the pre-SF days. Didn't realize he had a bar named after him.

Here's another cool image you guys might be interested in.

Yeah; me too.

Our computers and other good stuff use zeros and ones. We're coded in Gs and As and Ts and Cs, I wonder what the other little critters use.
