We found these videos at cloudynights. You may check out their site, It's full of interesting stuff about astronomy. www.cloudynights.complus, people there are so kind, funny and smart :)
Looking at the sky is so alluring to know behind those clouds.. It makes you wanna fly isn't it?
Have you ever wondered what could be there, to the other planet or rather to the other galaxy?
Have you thought about there may be like "us" out there?
Have you thought how infinite (as of now) our universe is?
The questions are unanswerable.
We sometimes forget the "BIG" things around us because we focus to much to our so-called "big deal" but it's not.
Hubby and I read something very amazing and somewhat inspirational, that beyond way those clouds, you'll see an enormous space where you cannot find its limit. Earth? It's way too small compared to the Jupiter, Jupiter? It's also way too small compared to the milky way. Milky way? haha! We're not alone.
Then I thought, what could be the universe looked like? A huge ball shape? or a very wide flattened universe?
How deep is deep in the universe? Well, we cannot say. Just like what hubby said to me, "we can only assume.", "No genius man can ever straighten the confusion of these.. No man can prove the limitation of the universe.. If man can approve, that maybe only at first.. Who knows? an inchy-bitsy error of computation should be thrown out to trash. As if, God let it this way."
We humans thinks that we're powerful enough to others but WHEN NATURE ACTS.. *poof!* where's you power now?
Maybe to other galaxy like, andromeda galaxy (our neighbor), whatever entities out there may be looking at us right now? haha, or maybe they are even high-techie than us. WE REALLY DON'T KNOW, WE CAN ONLY ASSUME.
This why it's wonderful to know about these things, even if it's puzzling, still, beautiful to us.
Just want to share you a video I found that made me cry. (cry baby, I know)

My husband and I are being nocturnal again, all nighter astronomy. So, we spent our time searching for stars,nebula,galaxies and planets. The above processed images was manipulated from Registax software.
Probably this month or so, we'll buy the camera adaptor (used to attach our digicam)so we can play with it. So far, these are the pictures taken from our Celestron 4SE Telescope along with our Logitech Quickcam.

This is where we set up for Astronomy.
Everything seems pretty isn't? It's not edited, it's just my DIGICAM :)
HOW?
My husband set my digicam to ISO1600, 8" exposure time , F.2.
and voila!
Just DON'T MOVE if you want to take photo of yourself, it's too sensitive that will give you a blur.
Here is the latest shot of the moon, my hands are shaking that time coz we don't have a mount yet. Maybe next year! So, bear with me guys :)
Highly magnified moon
We took these photos at our house (where street light is so kind to us . Dagnabbit). It's fun to have these snapshots, oh yeah before I forgot, I used my new digicam It's HP CB350 Digicam. I'm still playing with it on how to capture best pictures in astronomy.
Now, our plan is to buy DSLR (Digital Single Len Reflex) to capture more deep sky objects (nebula, galaxy) maybe that'll be on next year! It sure is exciting for us! :)
Me and my husband were talking about the universe on how great it is to see beyond the creations of God.
Then I thought that, "how come God gave us this capability to think? why us people so special?"
I imagined myself looking to these creations of God, especially...the UNIVERSE. We were made to see his works that you'll be out of words to describe how great it is.
My husband said, "Seeing the universe tingles your spine, you can see how powerful God is."
Then I thought, " Compared to its size to the other stars/planets, earth is really super microscopic in size!"
We may not see God, just look through the telescope and you'll be stunned.
We know that there is other life out there that is so far away not yet being discovered.
People should keep that in mind, God is bigger than canis majoris (the biggest star ever being discovered) It was like, God is looking through a microscope to see us.
Imagine, people are saying blasphemous things about God etc. As if they are like ants shouting angrily to canis majoris?! Well, for me God is God. That's it.
