Bill Moyers' Journal, while a worthy and enlightening show, is now officially off my "safe to watch before bedtime" list.
Also, it is pitch black outside.

At least today's APOD is insanely cool.

The APOD is totally awesome! Thanks for putting that website back in the front of my head.
Hope you have a nifty day, even if it is Monday.

If there is something possibly disturbing about that link, could you specify what it is so that one does not have to click to find out ?

The first one? It's disturbing if one finds US politics disturbing, which unfortunately I rather do. It doesn't have any explicit photographs or anything like that, though.

And the second is not disturbing.

Neat picture, but I don't buy that it's a single exposure. I've taken and seen my share of spiffy astronomical photos with scenery in the foreground, and the picture does not ring true. Even with spiffy new digital cameras, that deep of a Milky Way shot is going to require many minutes of exposure. Which means that either the stars would be trailed, or the scenery would be streaked. Also, when the sky is that dark, the landscape tends to be darker.

I'm certain that a long exposure milky-way shot was taken separately from the terrestrial shot. I'm guessing the terrestrial shot was taken during twilight, but the sky shot, which might have been from just outside the cave by the same photographer with the same camera, had to be taken in the depths of a moonless night.

*grin* I was hoping for an analysis just like this, actually.
