Voyagers Legacy in Pictures

tanveer1979 writes "Space.com has an interesting photo feature from the voyager craft. For the uninformed voyager is the most distant man made object. For the first time we are recieving photos of distant parts of the solar system. Currently voyager is about 12 light hours away. Wonder how far is that? Well Sun is 8 light minutes away from Earth. In case you are wondering what is this all about, check out the current location of voyager. The voyager spacecraft are about to cross heliopause, which is the limit of the rule of the sun, after which inter steller winds take over, and for the first time scientists can get the feel of what lies outside the solar system."

slashdot's legacy in pictures

META: Linking PDFs

I wish that when Slashdotters linked file-formats beyond the basic HTML or txt, they'd at least add a little warning of some kind, eg link [pdf] so people can choose whether to mess with it. (In my case, it just starts downloading and I have to specifically cancel it.)

Yeahm that's right, not anything man-made has made it to the 4th quadrant. And, hell, that captain Janeway sure does a good job getting them back from 75 lightyears from here...

oh... wait...
