Breathtaking

January 10th, 2009 by andrew

One of my hobbies has always been stargazing. Despite a couple of college-level astronomy classes and a telescope that cost about the same as three car payments, I still consider myself a lazy, amateur astronomer. Living in any city that puts out a fair amount of light pollution, it is too easy to forget how fascinating the night sky really is. I am really trying to make an effort this year to use my telescope more and to travel to places that allow you to see much more than just Orion’s Belt.

As with any New Year’s resolution, we always need reminders to keep us on our path. This video should do just that. I think I literally forgot to breath while watching this.  Enjoy.
