Messier Objects - Deep Sky Videos

Charles Messier's "anti-list' of objects in space has become iconic in the world of astronomy. We'll making videos about each object - but first here's an introduction to the catalogue itself.

@Scarecrowman27 i know, space totally trips me out, if you ever want to make yourself nuts read *death from the skys by, phil plaite* (not sure if thats spelled right and i think he has Dr. as a title not sure, but the books all about the millions of things that could hit our planet,its just crazy to think how small we really are,kinda makes you humble a bit looking out at the stars :)

@Scarecrowman27 I know exactly what you mean. This woman I work with thought Jupiter was the biggest object in the Galaxy (bigger than sun and other exrta-solar objects) and then couldn't understand how it ends up on opposite side of Earth so you can't see it all the time.

It was just total ignorance which made me very sad. The sky calls to us, and as long as we don't destroy ourselves, we will venture to the stars.
