Whats the song called?

[xeikon]

The tune is from the 5th season of Babylon 5 TV show, I used the intro from the CD without the speech.

Note that its from a program called Celestia. Of course its not from the real thing. But Celestia allows you to simulate many many variables, including if you so desire the Tunguska event.

Thanks for making this.

Saturn is more than 850 times as big as the Earth and has more than 60 known moons and may have alot more undescovered moons.

Saturns rings are only a few dozen miles thick and are made of rocks that rang in size from particals of dust to the size of a larg building.

Thumbs up if you would volunteer to go on the first manned-mission to pluto and back once you heard it was possible.

My father had some friends who worked at JPL on the Voyager 1 & 2 missions, and even gave him a copy of each picture it took. Letting me to see them, he was the one who gave me the interest in Astronomy. Wish I still had those pictures....this is as good as sitting around in his garage with pictures of Uranus and Neptune at my fingertips!

A huge meteor or guessed to be one, crashed into Russia and was equivalent to a 300 Megaton bomb or 6x more powerful than the most powerful nuclear bomb ever. (Tsar Bomba)

look it up.

[lyue1996]

wow, cool, I'm gonna download Celestia and show off it to my friends in Denmark!!! Okay...

[fauxpace]

In the 20th century an asteroid exploded over the tunguska in russia and destroyed a vast territory...roughly...I'm sorry I'm German and can't explain it better :-S
