The Galilean



So this is what it looks like when I get to hold the moon in my hands.

It's also an example of the crap I do when I've giving up doing what I should have been doing.

Awesome. So freakin' awesome.

I especially like the dive-bombing bird at the end.

And by nice coincidence Radio New Zealand started playing The Galileo Lectures today. Well worth a listen. If you're into moons and things.

it wasn't, but galileo was somewhat involved in making it so.

whoever came first started it. whoever came second cemented it. that's the way science works.
