my favorite astronomy concept is the Black Hole
(the cosmic antithesis of my shfinkta)

I was brimming with excitement once seeing two star systems slowly sucked into a black hole, illuminated from behind

you cannot see a black hole
but you can see evidence of one
NOVA had a great show on black holes a year ago
imagine a bowling ball on a bed mattrass
if the ball is too heavy, it falls thru to make a hole
excellent analogy
silly me, Jim

Re: Carl Sagan - Cosmos

Perhaps the greatest television program, ever. Even through my fog of the 80's, I had the presence of thought to tape the entire series and now play it for my kids while all of us sit in silent wonder.

When they are a little older, it will be Free to Chose by Milton Friedman, an Economics 101 that works.

Third place belongs to John Cleese, Fawlty Towers, but that's a different story.

Back to lurking....
