Bush Advances Humanity, Despite Liberal Nay-Sayers

Geno, you just reminded me of the hollow Earth hypothesis.

The idea was that we are actually on the INSIDE of the Earth, and the sun is at the center. There was a light side and a dark side and the sun itself spun around creating day and night.

Then someone asked how he explained why the sun appears to move across the sky if it's always right in the center...

From there the hypothesis was not rejected for something a little more plausible, but rahter worked out with things like lenses that bend the light in weird ways to explain pretty much any problem someone came up with.

Then we landed on the moon.

Anyway, it's a cute theory but unfortunatly a man spent his entire life trying to force it to work simply because he tried twisting the evidence to fit the hypothesis rather than the other way around... truly a shame considering how smart the guy had to have been...

And, beyond Mars there are the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. We can't ever live on the gas giants, but those moons show promise (a lot more than our own), if we could heat them up a bit.

GR, that is a truly awe inspiring picture there, one of my favorites. The "pillars of creation", they are called. Problem is, if we actually GO there, the view would be a tad different. Those things are massive to a degree that our human minds can't properly simulate. So, if you go there, the look is lost and it's basically a bunch of dust. As it is, from this lucky view we have, if we take the time to recognize the sheer size and the fact that those glowing bits are forming stars, it's one of the coolest things in nature.

That said, I forget what wavelength of light that thing was taken in. I'm not sure if Hubble is even designed to take full visible color images.
