536349 2007-03-27 22:09:00 I been reading about the planets and stuff on Wikipedia. I thought it was quite cool how the showed pictures and little clips from various spacecrafts.

So I got the bug and tried searching the net for various sites to see more, but somehow there is very little in reguards to clips and real pics. Mainly I seem to find 'reinactments (sp?)' or painting or what I call 'assumption pictures'.

Nasa's site isnt that great either. Is there other places I can see real pictures of outer space and maybe even real clips?? There must be more out there...

I think I got space bug quite bad, even last night I moved my bed over so I could open the curtains and fall asleep looking at the sky.

Real pictures of outer space are pretty dull; - they need to show a few heavenly bodies to take away the emptiness. :waughh:
