"The large-scale homogeneity of the universe makes it very difficult to believe that the structure of the universe is determined by anything so peripheral as some complicated molecular structure on a minor planet orbiting a very average star in the outer suburbs of a fairly typical galaxy."
An image of the cone nebula taken one of the coldest evening I have ever been out (1F)
Total combined exposure 100 minutes (10 minx 10 img) with FS102 & SXHV .
Stars are trailded noticeably.
Just finished shoveling snow, 6:40 pm New Years Eve 2008, 18F and 30 miles an hour wind gusts. Brrrr...... Cold here on Earth, but cool show in the heavens.
Caught sight of last Monday December first conjunction of the Moon, Venus and Jupiter at dusk.
It was a pretty sight and even my neighbor went "Coool !".
I could not have agreed with him more.
