across the universe

a co-worker alerted me to this website that provides an astronomy picture of the day. it's pretty cool. today's picture is of a solar elipse that occured over india on january 15.


the website has an archive that lets you look at astronomy pictures of the day going back to 1995. a few days ago the site featured a video of the known universe. it's well worth a watch. the video starts in the himalayas and then zooms out to the edge of the known universe.



it's reminiscent of charles and ray eames' powers of ten, a film of which i have fond childhood memories.



thanks for the tip julia.
