I have been into photography for 30+ years and astronomy for a year or so. The picture is Mars early 2008 taken through an 8" SCT using a Phillips webcam. I am very interested in galaxy formation, evolution and merger - there is such a lot of new information on the subject its hard to keep up.
It would be great if little green men were out there on the radio but I think that its more likely to be some automated entertainment station with a plastic DJ. Anyone tried FM on a big dish? ;-)
