Gooey scientists (APOD 25 Oct 2006)

It's a rare occurrence, but a great feeling, when the information you're poring over is so exciting that you want to start gushing about it to anyone who will listen.

Today, I read that "Scientists are now pouring [sic] over the aerogel [from the Stardust spacecraft]"... I guess that must be how they feel then :)

Great site, frequently makes for fantastic desktop wallpaper & screensaver images.

Desktop wallpapers?
The 'colliding galaxies', definitely. That's a great picture.
But maybe not the 'aerogel' one though eh? :lol:

No, I'll pass on that one. Can't win every time! But the Stardust itself, maybe getting launched, that might be good.
