    Only a few nights a year like last night. I try to watch for them and enjoy it while we can.

    I will say the pictures pick up more colors than the naked eye. While outside the city that’s less true, it isn’t like a rainbow. But the camera picks those up.

    We were seeing strong greens to the naked eye though last night since it was a very strong event and it was dancing all over the place.

    Ya, it is a ghost in person of what it is on film, but still a cool sight.

    We're going to try to create our own black hole?

    I think it has to do with gravity waves and the big bang. I think they may have more info on that. The nerds are excited but I don't know why yet.

    Yeah I dug into it a few days ago and it does seem to be gravity wave related.

    Isn't the universe like twice as old as we previously thought?

    As far as I can tell, one dude came up with this number. He might be right, but eh.

    The thing is, we don't know how old the universe is, we can only look at what we see and that is 13.7 billion years old. But because our physics breaks down at the singularity that is the Big Bang, the universe could actually be ageless. or 13.7 billion years old. Or 27 billion years old.

    We just don't Know, capital K.

    Maybe, I think they are looking for more confirmation.
