My brother and I were looking at the moon and jupiter last night on his telescope. The moon is close enough where you can make out some amazing detail. Jupiter isn't as clear and it's much smaller through the telescope, but we could make out one of the red jet streams. Very cool. Space is crazy.

Awesome video. I took an astronomy class in college and it's absolutely fascinating to learn about this stuff. It's impossible to grasp conceptually just how big the universe is.

Those are huge objects and satellites in space, but there are some formations that are hundreds of light-years across. It really is impossible to grasp the size of the universe, but wow, is it amazing as anything

My scopes are going to Big Bear (7,000 feet, Mountain resort) for some serious Astronomy for four nights starting on Friday.
