Ooh, yeah - I can lose hours on sites like that. I remember in the early days of Satellite TV there used to be this German channel that showed videos taken from the ISS all night after the programmes had stopped. It was simply entitled "Space Night" and I've watched it for hours. I really miss that.

Through strength I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.

In 1994, The Schumacher-Levy comet struck Jupiter. The resulting explosion was calculated to be a few hundred times the explosive force of the Earth's entire nuclear arsenal. It sent a 300 mile an hour seismic shockwave through the entire planet. You can still see the scars today.

Muhwahahahah!  :-[ Um,,, anyway not all science is mad but here's a page for science questions and some stock answers in the FAQ like " Why is the sky blue"?
