Always meant to get a telescope. A half decent one's about £300 quid though.
The solar system really is amazing. How all the planets and stars and intricacies of the universe decided to create themselves is mindblowing. Makes you wonder whether there really is a god. It is far too staggering to comprehend that it just "happened".
Watched the 1st ep today on iPlayer, amazing stream of eye candy and information that I had no clue about.
This is the sort of stuff kids should be learning in school.
This thread would be boss with some pics.![]()

One of the most wonderful sights I've ever seen was when on holiday in Egypt. We (my wife and I) went to a Bedouin camp where there had been erected a radio telescope that had been, if I remember correctly, paid for by us Brits. The moon seemed so big that I said at the time I swore I could see Buzz Aldrin's golf ball! (OK, I know now it was Alan Shepard who hit the ball) but the real highlight was when I looked at Saturn - and saw the rings!![]()
A freind of mine was talking recently about how his tattooist suggested the idea of getting the solar system tattooed on him like in the pic above.
And i so wanna steal it cause its an awesome idea but that would just be a bit rude. Although i dont know if he actually plans on getting it though.
And i just remembered that when i was younger i had some top trumps with all the planets and their moons in, i loved that.
And they had drawn up some aliens they reckoned lived on them. Awesome.

no prizes for guessing where uranus would be.
i had world cup 82 ones and some euro ones with antonio antonioni, still chuckle at that, as good as neville neville that one.

I wouldn't mind having Uranus on my face![]()
