I was directed to the specific image, not the page itself, and I find it fascinating that there are lights popping up only in what could be called “civilized” areas. Not just localized in cities; almost exclusively in the US, Europe, and to a lesser extent, India, East Asia, and for whatever reason, the southeast coast of South America.

Da Blog Poll on the future of the RID is being extended through the end of June. Someone is going to tell me what to do with the RID if it’s the last thing I do.

No one has cast a vote so far on what I should do with the RID?

Strip should be posted by noon.

So lo and behold, the gazillionth astronomy RID!

So I’m hitting the StumbleUpon button again.

What’s that? You say it’s almost the autumnal equinox anyway and it may well do so? Well…

Strangely enough, the first time I activated StumbleUpon I was taken to TED.com again. But on the second try I was taken to this site. If you thought you were an insignificant speck of dust in the Universe before, this’ll make you really think you’re an insignificant speck… on an insignificant speck… orbiting an insignificant speck.

I doubt I’ll have much more to say on the “astronomy” tag.
