http://drunkardswalkforums.yuku.com/topic/7180]Pointer to the old thread.
Has anybody linked http://www.thehuntforgollum.com/player_film-youtube.htm]to this movie yet? (It's far too long to embed.) Believe it or not, it's authorized.

a little long (8 minutes) to imbed.
But well worth it, especially at 720p
VLT (Very Large Telescope) HD Timelapse Footage (Youtube)
timelapse video of the ESO's VLT in Chile.
They should show this in highschool and get more kids interested in science.
and in case your wondering about the laser, I will point your towards Bad Astronomy which does a better job than I ever could: Quote:those to help counteract atmospheric distortion; the laser hits a layer of sodium atoms high in the atmosphere and causes them to glow. This creates a bright artificial star in the telescope’s view, which jiggles and wiggles as the atmosphere roils. The way the "star" moves can be counteracted by the telescope, sharpening up the image it makes. This tech, called adaptive optics, has revolutionized high-resolution ground-based astronomy. It has also given the VLT the ability to make incredibly sharp and gorgeous images
ETA: corrected links

I was referring to the original, the ME2 ref has helpful subtitles.
But I understand how my comments could be confusing, I was playing fast and lose with pronouns.
