  • @sbergman27 really good question. Good thing he did compare it to how dark it would get in a room, but even then on what scale did he mean? That much dust from the earth to the center of the galaxy?

  • What does 10,000 ppm actually mean in a near-perfect vacuum? Is it ppm by volume? Normally, ppm is reported by mass, and that's what I would expect the OSHA limit to be referring to. 3 parts dust mass per 999,997 parts of air mass.

  • It's nice to see ESA's excellent Herschel Space Observatory in the spotlight. It has fully 17x the light gathering power of the US's best IR space telescope, Spitzer.

  • This channel is a fountain of knowledge.

  • This is just great.
