Really cool. I can't wait for the solar eclipse that will be visible near where I live in August.

I hope they don't look in California. I would hate to see aliens disappointed like that.

Absolutely incredible the changes a man born in 1940 has seen in his lifetime. Imagine looking at Mars with a telescope from earth to seeing earth from a telescope traveling around Mars. Thanks Loki.

Sometimes we need a break from self important jerks to see things that represent real accomplishments.

I was watching a science program prior to Christmas and learned that a single light year is equivalent to 6 trillion miles and we know of a galaxy I believe they said was 13.3 billion light years away. Not only can I not begin to fathom the magnitude of that sort of distance, neither could my Amazon Echo calculate the distance in miles to my understanding. She said 7.98E13 to which I said. ????. Someday, if we survive, mankind will find the answers to travel the universe.
