Really Cool Video About The Universe to Watch
Observatory at the top of the world provides rare view of outer space.
Scientists from around the world are building the world’s most advanced radio telescope in Chile’s Atacama Desert, on a plateau half-way between Earth and space above 40 percent of the planet’s atmosphere.
The observatory, referred to by the acronym ALMA, officially known as the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array, is the highest ever built. Located at 16,500 feet, the antennas will pick up radio and microwave signals from the edge of the universe to see things in space that were once invisible.
Eventually there will be 66 antennas spread across the plateau. All of them can be pointed at the same time at a patch of outer space.

Stuck at Work This Morning..plus a Must Read...
I have to finish up a report to the State in regards to some well water issues here at the sooper sekrit workplace. Seems the state doesn't like some of the test results they got. Oh well, we will see what happens.
Anyway, I was perusing the blogs and took some time to read this post over at Old NFO's. I know it's preaching to the choir but it should be something that is read and shared.
Enjoy your day
Here is the start to his post:
One to think about...
A scary contribution from one of our “friends”. But the real scary part is if you read the paper or watch TV…nobody seems to care. The fact OUR parents cared….and their parents before them…is the only reason we exist today. AND it seems we are emulating Europe who represented greatness ONLY in the past.
Surely folks will wake up... Maybe...
