This one is something to marvel at. Have you ever wanted to experience 30 hours in 11 seconds? Have you ever wanted to keep a close eye on Jupiter in case it pulls a fast one? Have you ever felt so down you just wanted to hide behind the sun?
Check, check, and check?
Then this post is for you!
Phil Plait, that baddest of bad astronomers (and I mean that in the same way "F*ck You, Sara" really means "I love you" at the end of The Last Boyscout) has posted a short video of Jupiter and its moons trying to insulate itself from all earthly wrongdoings by putting the sun between us and itself. Can you blame it?
Phil is one of my favorite bloggers. He's the guy that took the Moon Hoax crackpots head on in his first book, Bad Astronomy, and has subsequently become a blogging god, talking about all things majorly astronomical, sciency and rational.
By the way, if you ever wondered how the world is going to end then you might like his new book Death From The Skies (free plug, seeing as how I like the guy so damn much). Otherwise keep checking that Large Hadron Collider link I gave you a while back, for up to the minute intel.
Oh, and don't forget to become a rabid devotee of Phil's Blog if you weren't already.
