Nice, the link for evidence of the supernova is a pdf anyone can download, and the last link [be witnessed] is to the Chandra X-ray Observatory web site, yet another place chockful of amazing photos I'll never have the time to wander through adequately

While you’re curled up comfy in your bed each night, the crew of the International Space Station is getting unrivaled views of our planet. For anyone wishing they could see what the astronauts see, here are recent videos of the Earth at night taken from space.

So, how much does a room cost on the ISS? I have Visa.
I once applied for a job as a mustard cutter.
But unfortunately I wasn’t quite good enough.
