Imagine if you had a head as larger than a planet, OK good. Now imagine that you are looking up at the ’sky’ (with your head being larger than the planet you normally live on some would say that the sky is everywhere but I digress…) and things that would normally appear flat begin to have depth. You can see that the moon is closer to you than the sun and that planets really do look like they are way out there. Astronomer JP Metsavainio has been taking wonderful photos of the night sky and then enhancing them to give you the illusion of what they would look like it you were of a galactic size. His estimates of depth are a best guess but I’m going to say that for the sake of argument that he is correct. Seeing these nebula and galaxies with stereo depth is just cool.

Impressive, technology like this might lead to all sorts of wonderful things. I’m thinking video projectors that use lasers and that have no moving parts of nasty super hot lamps (just super hot lasers, have to work on that…)

Go science! Too bad you can’t get a sample of it, the lifespan of this element is measured in seconds.
