The different sizes of objects and structures in the universe


A student shared this video animation with me a little while ago. Thought I'd share it with you.

Don't forget to switch to full screen. I'd mute the video as the soundtrack isn't great.

20 albums in 20 days Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

I've been nominated to post 20 album covers in 20 days to Facebook. The FB posts should be posted without explanation or commentary. But I've been a little distracted lately. So I've failed the deadline. However, this seems a suitable distraction. The 20 album covers represent music that has had a significant impact on my life. No explanations or commentary is expected. However, this blog seems a suitable place to make a few comments and explanations on the album.



I watched Crosby Stills and Nash in concert. It was their 2009 performance at Glastonbury. It was brilliant. Here's the video. Enjoy.



Here's Neil Young's performance also from Glastonbury 2009. Enjoy.



After watching the Crosby, Stills and Nash set yesterday, for the first time, I wondered why Neil Young didn't join them. Well, that was answered today when I watched the Neil Young set. Also for the first time.
His performance was so large there wasn't any room for anyone else. It was wild, shamanic. It was raw and elemental. Just incredible. 
I did enjoy Crosby, Stills and Nash but Young took the whole thing onto another plane. Don't you think?
