If you are into Space and things like that you might want to check out Heavens-Above.com. Heavens Above allows you to track the ISS so you can watch it fly over you. You can type in your location using GPS coordinates or use there database of known location.

Typically you can see the ISS for about 5 minutes when it passes over. It looks like a bright star moving slower than a jet does when it flies over you.

Have you every wondered what something looks like magnified a 100 or time times it size? I have, so I put my iPhone 3G under a microscope and took a picture of it magnified 100X it’s normal size. If I can I’ll take another picture of it magnified at a 1000 times.

US lab debuts super laser

Breitbart.com posted an article about a “super laser” made by the National Ignition Facility. I think this is the first step to the Death Star. 

fusion reaction triggered by the super laser hitting hydrogen atoms will produce more energy than was required to prompt “ignition,” according to NIF director Edward Moses.

“This is the long-sought goal of ‘energy gain’ that has been the goal of fusion researchers for more than half a century,” Moses said.

“NIF’s success will be a scientific breakthrough of historic significance; the first demonstration of fusion ignition in a laboratory setting, duplicating on Earth the processes that power the stars.”
