What amazing images! 🙂

I brought up the topic of the diamond planet at dinner last night, thinking I might sound clever, and it seems my husband had already seen it 🙁 Oh well, next time!

Love the name Tycho, they use it for a dog in the kids Planetarium presentation in Melbourne. We have a stuffed version on Miss 4’s bed, she loved the show that much.

Tycho Brahe was a great scientist, the last of the naked eye astronomers. Kepler was his assistant and worked out the laws of planetary motion using Tycho’s observations. There are lots of astronomical things named after him, including craters and stars as well as the supernova.

The colours are quite incredible. I love that you’re sharing this. I’m learning so much from your blog. (Science was never my strong point at school!) 🙂

I wish I knew more about space – Im pretty sure my sons know more about it than me! I think Stephen Hawking and I need to spend some quality time together in my living room 🙂 Happy WW!
