Neave Planetarium ...the sky in your web browser

Click on full screen and its like having your own planetarium in your own home all in real time with real direction and real names of constellations once you reclick them.

Im digging this new firefox stumbling thing :-)

That's very cool, so much stuff in the sky it really makes you sit and think

Yeah bro there is also just as much stuff when you look sub atomically too!

As the last thing there shows .

They (physicists) have just placed a microscopic piece of gold into a vacuum and placed a sub atomic piece of gold near by it . The sub atomic piece flipped through space and landed onto the larger piece.
There was no current no magnetism etc just went on its own accord.

This opens up a whole new realm of possibilities in regards to time and travel and perpetual motion and energy less travel etc among other questions relating to attraction without current.

That stuff is quite fun. As a kid I used to be obsessed with the skies, but I don't think I have looked spacewards in a good decade or so. I should start looking upwards again.

I've been checking a few shots of it and the lightening forms in the clouds of dust from the volcano it doesnt appear to be from the surrounding weather pattern!

I didnt know that until I saw I pic of blue skies around it and lightening ripping out the sides of the dust down onto the mountain.

Wonder how that works?


I know there is power up in the air once you get to a certain height (Nicolia Tessla tapped into it using a tower) but I didint realize there was that much. Looks as if the amount of earth in the air acts an earth for the spark same as the moisture does in a storm cloud.

God theres some great shots if you go through their archives..

Insanely deep fractal zoom

The power of this zoom way surpasses, if you could enlarge a fractal to the size of the Earth!

Skip the middle section once you get you gist of the depth you are looking into ; the ending is quite something, like dropping a stone into a pond.
