[img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] A black hole? [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] We have never even seen a black-hole. We don't even know if they exist. Only theoretically, mathematically. We can see what looks like light being manipulated by what we think is a black-hole, but thats it. And BTW, there is none in our solar system.

Its quite amazing to think of how big the famous red spot actually is. Its three times the size of earth...jeeez...
And Jupiter itself is some 50 times bigger than earth. Oh, how big is the sun compared to earth? I think its about 1000 times bigger...but wait, the sun is just a little candle compared to Betelguse wich is 2600 times bigger than the sun...now how much bigger is betelguse than earth? Uhhh, Im not signing up to do the maths...im going to bed =)

Oh yeah then you haven't met my Boss,(I'm not talking about Race he's white) if there are any black holes in the universe then he's it. The best thing about him is, he retires May 2nd,2003 and I get his job and I become the black hole, no way do I become that I'm to nice.
Just two more weeks and then out with the old and in with the not so old.
The picture makes me think of a song:
I'm being followed by a moon shadow, Moon shadow, Moon Shadow.
I forgot the rest of the words. I think Cat Stevens wrote it.
I really like the space pictures "Lordkathen" posts on the forun. They make people think of things from the past,present & Future and of places far away, beyond the reach of mortal man. I think they're called Dreams!
