I'd rather be atop the foothills than beneath them.

What always blows me away in photos like this is how many galaxies there really are. If you clicky the piccy, then clicky the piccy on the resulting page, you get the full high-res photograph. The amazing array of galaxies in this one small corner of the sky is nothing less than astounding and awe-inspiring.

I'm not sure this deserves a separate thread, but it is space related, so I will adorn Denny's thread with it here. Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield explains what everyone wants to know about being in space ... and then some.

Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

What, the jokes? Good, I was afraid it was just me.

No, the arrowheads.

It would be mighty hard for my jokes to get any older than they are.

It's true. You're definitely getting older!

This was from back in July. A long time ago, I might add.
