Bond versus Bond

In light of the new Bond movie Quantum of Solace coming out, I just wanted to show you guys a parody before (or after) you go and see it. ^_^ Unfortunately, I couldn’t embed it…

“Well, we know where you stand… Next to the talking polar bear in the Golden Compass.” Funny. ^_^

Quantum Electro What?

Me: *shouging* I said, quantum electrodynamic!

You: What the bloody &%#@* is that!

Me (thingking): You don’t know what it is?! That is it, you are officially an idiot, you are a lost cause!

Me (saying): Oh, it is basically the study of light on a small scale level, to see how and why light behaves in such a way. Here is a series of lectures about it by the co-inventor of the field, Richard Feynman. Don’t worry, he won’t use super complicated math in the lecture. These lectures are for everyone, (everyone as in having a high school background in physics and math). *cough* moron *cough*

You: What? Did you say something?

Me: Oh, uh… nothing. ^_^ *disappears in mid-air, leaving a whisp of black mist to dissipate*

You: Ok, what the heck was that about… Oh well. *ignores my links*

Carnival of Spaces and Recent Astronomy News

Being busy with school work, I didn’t find much time to blog. So, I will make it up by putting links to astro news from the last week, plus carnival of spaces I might have missed.

Carnival of Space

Here, they are 78, 77, and 76. *war scene*Leave no carnivals unposted!!!!

And in other news…

Phoenix, the Martian space probe on the Northern latitude is dead. *dramatic sob, NOOO!!!* We learned so much from it…

We got planet pictures from other star systems!!! If you can appreciate how difficult it is to take pictures of planets outside the Solar System because of A. Distance, B. Planets are freaking small, and C. Stars are way brighter than planets, then you will understand my excitement. Anyways, there are two, with one of them having two planets shown:

The astronomers also got a deep field picture of the universe with ground based telescopes! (badastronomy) Just a warning, that picture is LARGE and if your computer is slow… Too bad, sucker!

Old pictures of the Apollo missions are being restored.

Chandrayaan-1, a space probe to the moon released an impact probe, and successfully… well, impacted it, obviously, and sent a few cool pictures.

Finally, this is what happens when a moon from Saturn and part of Saturn’s ring collides.
