This is my first try on animation using the program Autodesk 3DS Max 9.

The asteroid was   more...spotted on Friday and it was determined it would miss earth within a day.asteroid, dd45 2009, dd45, 2009 dd45, near miss asteroid  less

Put them together and what do you get? This is a compliation of videos put together from photos taken by the NEAR-Shoemaker probe. The Music is "Painted Desert" from the Grand Canyon Suite by   more...Grofe'. The final animation depicts the landing of NEAR-Shoemaker on the surface of Eros  less

The Meteor Crater in Arizona, about a hundred miles southeast of the Grand Canyon, near Interstate 40 half way between Flagstaff and Winslow, displayed photographically with a background sound track.

This is what will happen if Earth gets hit by an asteroid

Asteroid 1950 DA (29075), a 1.1-km asteroid, is spinning towards earth with the highest probability of impacting earth. It is estimated on March 16, 2880, travelling at 17.8 km s. This radar vid was   more...taken on March 4, 2001 at Goldstone and Arecibo. If impact, it would blow a cavity 19 km in diameter and as deep as the ocean (5km) at impact site, BUT the likelihood probability is between 0.0 to 0.3 percent.  less

An asteroid ended the reign of the dinosaurs. Could it happen again?

Thankfully it burned up and we didn't have to rely on Bruce Willis to save us!

Airs Nov. 25, 2008 at 9pm/8c - The laws of physics say we can never travel faster than Light Speed – or can we? This episode explores it all, including the ways scientists envision breaking the "light   more...barrier" needed for the star travel of our imaginations. Light speed is the ultimate constant in the universe. Though incredibly fast from a human perspective, in the scales of space it’s agonizingly slow. Light speed lets us see things instantly here on Earth, and shows the history of the universe going back nearly 14 billion years. Traveling at close to light speed, our surroundings become distorted and misshapen as space and time bend over backward to maintain the speed of light as a rock-solid constant. In the vacuum of space, the speed of light may not change; but in other media, it slows down and bends – allowing glass lenses to do their work (and the invention of telescopes), and without which what our eyes see would be a featureless blur.
