larryhammerThree links to the sky:
A new 3-D map of our local universe, where "local" means 100 million light years. (via forgotten)
Timelapse of a Texas supercell thunderstorm (via)
Though for those of you tired of timelapses, how about some raw footage? I haven't actually watched this 6-hour 21-minute movie of the night sky over Great Basin National Park, but I've skipped around and those stills have all been stunning. For those unfamiliar with the area, this is a VERY dark-sky part of the country: when we drove there, there was a 30-mile stretch with not a single sign of humans other than the road itself -- not even barbed wire. (To be fair: when we drove away in another direction, there were dispersed ranches all the way but still no towns larger than a few hundred people for a couple hours.) In other words, yes, it's a place where you really can see the Milky Way that well. (via)
