And don´t forget Shoemaker-Levy 9 which spectacularly collided with JupiterOriginally posted by Ecthy
We've had several well-visible comets (Hyakutake, Hale Bopp), the first cool colour pics from Mars (Pathfinder mission), another Space Shuttle accident, the institution of the ISS, a full solar eclipse visible in large parts of western Europe... need I go on?

No. This is the worst of the worst times to live. We are in a time when all the frontiers that are reachable have been, and all the ones that aren't won't be anytime soon. We are a stagnating cesspool of a species stuck in a rut without the smarts to even know this is the ****.
Other than that, yeah, it's a pretty exciting time.Long time member @ Apolyton

You can still see the remnants with a telescope. It's called the Crab Nebula.Originally posted by Sir Og

It's less than two thousand lightyears away, and this is supposed to happen... some time within the next hundred thousand years. So it probably hasn't happened yet. But it's all relative anyways.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.
