macca_75 I did attempt to watch it, it just didn't hook me initially so I abandoned it due to other stuff much better.
In light of your review, I shall give the series another shot dude.
Matman, how did you find Thor?
It was a little wishy washy in small parts, but all in all, I still feel it was the best for that year! Thats a pretty tough call usually, but it felt it qualified easy!
rockerpeller You know I wouldn't have watched half the movies If the choice was left to me. Every misses thats had the pleasure of hanging off my arm has introduced me to some quality chick flicks. Some are deceptively funny.
Granted street dance (the sequel:confused: ) might induce silent suicidal tendencies, but somewhere along the way, surely your mind will wonder if that particular dancer can ride cowgirl well..lol
Out of interest, Has anyone actually watched the narrated version of Hubble?
Fantastic vision, an decaprio did a decent job narrating.
In it they showed the Orion Nebular ~ stating its a whopping 90 trillion miles across in diameter.
One trillion = one million million last I checked! Now try converting that to KLM's..lol
The neb is a sun factory of Orions belt some 1500 trillion light years away from earth. (give or take a Volkswagen length;) )
As a comparison, the distance between our sun and the earth is approx 150,000,000 km. or 8.3 light minutes.
Quick overview for the subject.
1 light nano second = 30cm
1 light second = 300,000 km
1 light minute = 18 million km
1 light hour = 1 billion km
1 light year = 10 trillion km
1 parsec = 3.2 light years, or 31 trillion klm.
Parsec is a cool astronomical measurement, it and its other calculative brothers are brought into the mix for the exceptionally large distances out in the voids. To throw some light on a parsec, being that the distance to the Sun from Earth is150,000,000 km, you would have to make 103,000 round trips in your space Volkswagen to even qualify for the parsec leg. Thats nuts!
So by my calcs, thats 48.38+ parsec to the orion nebular.
But did you see that punch bowl in the cloud created by the suns winds. (pink cloud in the vid above if you missed it) They said its facing us, so we can see straight in even without other spectrum's. The winds carves the bowl at 804,6735 kms/hr. Being that many star systems forming in close proximity, its creating visible shock waves that they call tad poles. This sh^t just blows my mind!
