Another great space video from SpaceRip

“NASA’s tribute to the Hubble Space Telescope on its 20th anniversary in space. This beautiful video surveys the incredible accomplishments of this revolutionary instrument: everybody’s favorite telescope.”

This is a great video about the Hubble Space Telescope from it’s conception, to launch, and the many repair and upgrade missions that make it what it is today. The Hubble will be remembered in history because it changed the way we look at the universe and has produced more knowledge in it’s 20+ years than all of the 400 years back to Galileo combined.

Enjoy!

This one from over at BoingBoing.net

This is a topic dealing with this year’s IgNobel Prizes and I thought it might be of interest. It would even be funny if it were not real, and an example of government waste on a grand scale. Check it out for yourself.

Here is another and the latest featured space video from my friends at SpaceRip.

This one called “How large is the Universe?” is by Thomas Lucas Productions dated 2012 and written by the same. It is narrated by Dick Rodstein with contributions from an all star cast of contributors including but, not limited to NASA, JPL, European Space Agency, and CERN just to name a few. The imagery and super computer generated models are stunning to say the least and go a long way in helping the author explain a very complex topic in a way the layman can understand and enjoy. This is like a total must see for any aspiring science geek, and to all you science teachers out there this has some really great material that could really enhance your science lesson plans.

Enjoy!
