    Starts tonight at 9PM. Fox or probably PBS. Check it out. New series. Only on for an hour. Hopefully it will be better than the older one by same title.

    I just found it on the national geographic channel, I am recording it, as well as the original one! Thanks for the heads up! I am surprised there are going to be able to see this asteroid tonight, since it is so far out in space.

    They know they can count on you, brokenwing, and several cases of good beer Stinny. And Griz will shoot the whole thing and play it live to the world through the newest satellite TV called FIREWOOD HOARDERS TV! Commercials will say Got Griz?

    You know, I actually do have some iPhone lenses on the way that may open me up to the possibility of some very questionable astrophotography.

    Cosmos was pretty cool. Hard to comprehend the size, distances, ages, etc. Amazing.

    I wonder if that's the same one they were talking about on the news this morning… said it was the first time we've been able to see one of those come apart into 6-8 sections. Looked pretty cool… unless we were in it's path… :confused:

    Ya. That would be some scary chit. I have seen some TV shows before about asteroids and meteors, and it is shocking to here them talk about how many times the earth is hit. And how many times it has been hit by some real good size ones. o_O
