American Museum & Natural History produced a short film titled The Known Universe that everyone should watch.

Apart from Sagan Cosmos, is there any other definitive Space Documentary/Series? a slightly more up to date one would be nice, though Cosmos is literally perfect.

I can't think of anything else "definitive" at the moment, but I enjoyed watching Nova ScienceNow with Neil DeGrasse Tyson. They have space-themed episodes and other science-y stuff, and it's not too technical at all. The regular NOVA shows have astronomy topics occasionally too.
Full episodes online: http://video.pbs.org/program/979359664/ You'll have to do some searching to find astronomy themed videos though

Shortest day of the year here in England. It's completely dark by 4.00 - but it only gets brighter from here onwards

Depends where you are, Fujee. I'm on a hill with a beautiful view and it's still sunset round here. It's a shame I'm snowed in and losing my mind somewhat, but this is truly god's country

just watched the eclipse with some friends and a campfire
(well, like 6-7 hours ago)
.. and fire-roasted pancakes.

Lunar Eclipse tonight for Brits, moonrise is approx 9.13 in London - later as you move further north. Red Moon tonight

awesome thread. maybe some of you can help me. back in the day I used to watch a movie made by nasa that included a clip of one of voyager's "fly-by" animations, which are supposedly from real photos from voyager that are then stitched together to become animation. I can find these in short segments on youtube, but am looking for the official full lenght nasa animations for all of the voyager (I and II) fly bys. I love that vintage hue of warmth. amazing.

Binos should be just fine. I'll have mine on standby too. If you've never seen one before, it's quite something. It really does turn a deep red.

Thank you Elenin for this wonderful opportunity! Ask the heavens and ye shall receive. Also, Universe, I would LOVE to see with my eyes, the supernova of the star Betelgeuse, hopefully in the next few years, and hopefully without the loss of any life in that particular quadrant. Thank you for your attention!mechanismj wrote:I would love to see another comet in the future, now that I'm old enough to really appreciate it. You could really sense the absolute vastness between the objects.
Also, space would kick times ass!
No mention of the space/ time vortex around Earth yet. So here...

Yeah, I'm keeping an eye out for that one too. Not that it'll be hard to spot when it goes off!!mechanismj wrote:I would LOVE to see with my eyes, the supernova of the star Betelgeuse, hopefully in the next few years, and hopefully without the loss of any life in that particular quadrant.
