Such a cool sight to behold. I can imagine it was a big deal to the ancients to see something like that. And it's pretty awesome that we as humans have been able to figure that kind of stuff out just by thinking about it (and experimentation). But the power of thought to construct a working model which explains such an event is pretty cool. Or as Carl Sagan put it: "We are a way, the Cosmos can know itself"

Really cool stuff, thanks for posting.

Haha Riven wasn't that quote in one of the songs of "Symphony of Science" ? I recall that! smiley
