Cool Astronomy Links new
      #2403524 - 05/18/08 11:29 AM

I frequent a gaming forum and I posted the link about the size of stars. The guys found that link very cool.

Are there any more related links I can share with them?

Many thanks.

Hay, what about this one it is the best one of all! Cloudy Nights
