Documenting things because reasons

Well I was going to do a blog post about nebulae (plural form of nebula) but seeing as that would involve a lot of research and image citing and all that and its late, instead I shall shamelessly promote Connor, Sam, Max's documentary.  Huzzah?



Honestly, this documentary depressed me.  C'mon America, be smarter.   The writing on the white board to clarify ideas was actually really good, but it also made me sad because whoever was writing has way better handwriting than I do.  Am I allowed to blame American schools?   But it was good because it was clear, it didn't go too fast, and it gave real solutions to the problems.  And cinematographically, rack focus is just generally awesome and there was great typography.  So generally, this was a good documentary.   Hopefully it will win the CSPAN thing.
(For obvious reasons however, my groups documentary about Europa will be far superior, because we went to Europa to get footage.  It was only like 433 million miles away )

Ok I lied about there being no nebula stuff.
Nebulas are beauteous clouds of gas and space dust and what not.  It's where stars are born.  And they are cool because no one really knows how exactly stars form, though we have a general idea.   But since I will be writing a much longer blog post next week about it, I will just leave this as a wonderful little taste of their epicness.
But it would be mean to just end this blog post without any sort of nebula picture, so here is a wonderful picture of the Orion Nebula.
 
 
This is why Nasa and Hubble are awesome.  So beautiful.
