just for a second think about how big space is. its never-fucking-ending. thats crazy. it just never stops, for all of eternity..the true infinity.

no walls, no end of the road. it just goes on for ever and ever and ever.

i dont think anyone can truly grasp the concept of infinity. it is just so 'other-worldy'  (npi)

think if you were shot into space. you would just keep going, for the rest of time.

one of my favorite moments was when i was camped up on a mountain with a girl , and we just layed there and looked up at the stars, it just makes you feel calm, like your home, no matter where you are.

yea dude the sky is dope. go to http://www.heavens-above.com and enter in your exact coordinates where you live (like from google earth or something), and you can find out when the ISS passes by or when you can see Iridium Flares and stuff.

does anybody remember seeing the Hale Bopp comet, that was sick

any time i get the chance to look at the stars on a clear night i will. i dont want to turn this into a ufo thread but i have seen some pretty wierd stuff while looking at the stars. one night me and my friends were out by the fire and looked up and so this orange glowing sphere (probably 10 times as big as venus looks in the night sk) just floating in the sky not really even moving just hovering for about a minute and then it just gradually took off into the distance and disappeared. by the way, ive always wanted a telescope

thats pretty ridiculous. honestly i wouldnt be surprised at all if we were the only life form.
i just got crazyyy chills up and down my back typing that though. wierd.

but i, too, enjoy looking at the starts. its crazy to just sit there and think/wonder how big shit really is.

yeah, stars are amazing, and so is space.

the darkest place that i think i have seen the most stars at is at the top of Logan Pass at Glacier at 2 in the morning. your on top of the world, pretty much and you can see so many stars you never see anywhere else. seeing the northern lights and meteor showers are pretty amazing too.

seriously ted?  we are 1 planet in 1 solar system in a galaxy with 200 billion other stars that could have planets that could sustain life in a universe that has at least 100 billion other observable galaxies. and thats only what we know of!  the chances of there NOT being other life out there somewhere are impossible

Stars are really cool.

I usually live in PA and there is barely anything to see in the night's sky.  When I went to upstate New York last summer, I hung out with friends at a lake and at night the stars were incredible.  Sometimes you could even see the milky way.  Too bad I didn't bring my telescope.

Ya. It's weird to think about.
Just imagine, the universe goes on forever.
That means that there is someone else out there somewere doing the exact same things that you or i'm doing right now.  Cause there is like a 1 in 500000000000000 billion chance that there is someone the exact same as you, and if the universe goes on forever, that means it has to happen somewere. its hard to explain but cool to think about.
