You just blew my mind!!


I can't get the credit for the universe, I don't know who created it exactly :) But I'll take it for me posting the gif, thanks.

As for the subject... When you think that there are about 100-500 billions of stars in only Milky Way, our galaxy. And there are about 500 billions galaxy in the known universe, it's unbelievable! And the actual amazing thing is the massive distances between the celestial objects like stars, nebulas etc. For instance, the light can travel seven and a half times around the world in just a second but it takes about 8 and a half minutes to travel from Sun to Earth. And it takes more than 4 years from the nearest star Centauri to Earth. And this distances between the stars vary from years to the billion years, it's just mind blowing.

When you look at the sky at nights, most of the stars you see are thousands to hundred millions light years away from you. That means you see their light of millions year before.

If you are interested in this, I recommend this two wonderful planetarium/space softwares.

With celestia, you can see and understand better the massive distances between the celestial bodies and how big is the universe.

With stellarium, you can observe the sky like you can do with a telescope. Actually it's almost better than that.

Both softwares are easy to use and accurate scientifically.
 
Isn't the corner pole considered to be out-of-bounds? (Don't know, haven't played soccer since I was a kid.)

Corner pole is not out of bounds. Ball needs to completely cross the plane/boundary. If the pole keeps the ball in play, then it's still a live ball - just as if the ball hits one of the goal posts.
