Hubble DVD

Anyone else received their New Scientist Hubble DVD? Well worth getting...
the film itself is excellent, a splendid introduction to modern cosmology
with some stunning images. From gravitational lensing to dark matter,
quasars, gamma ray bursts (still a bit vague on the source of these... but
I think that's being worked on at present with a new "quick response"
instrument in earth orbit), from the big bang to the big rip.
But it's the extras on the DVD that are entertaining me at the moment.
Wish I had the mainframes that simulated those colliding galaxies...
beautiful!

If it's still available, I heartily recommend it..

attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and
exposing the country to greater danger "
