I wrote sometime back about a dream that I’ve had about stars in the night sky so close that you could feasibly touch them with a large enough ladder. This is about as close to that dream as I think will ever be photographed.
Also, while I’m not one to pull a Chicken Little (and I avoid doing so because I have at least a few friends and family who are prone to hysterics), this is a great animation (though you might wish to ignore the sound, unless you speak Japanese). Meteor, meet Earth. Earth, meet Doom. Milky Way, meet new planetstar.

That vid needed more exploding people a la Terminator2…
But otherwise it was pretty damn cool!
