How Much Would It Cost to Build the Death Star?
Any guesses?
In 2012 dollars?
How about 13,000 times the world’s GDP? Yep.
Flash Mob Freeze Frame Sith/Jedi battle thing.
Heh. Only in Times Square.
Fun, tho. :D
How awesome would it be as a child to see this?
Oh man. OH MAN, this just gives me ALL SORTS OF IDEAS. As in, no less than TWO SCENES AND IDEAS, FULLY FORMED. D: So little time to wriiiiiiiite … Q.Q
So awesome, I wish I’d seen this in person! Absolutely amazing.
YES THIS TOTALLY NEEDS TO BE ON MY DASH
I am in TEARS. But I couldn’t laugh because then I might obscure the awesome music. So torturous. Q.Q
Astronomers have discovered a Tatooine-like planet orbiting two stars. (Well, there’s no Jedis or other life-forms on it, but it’s still pretty cool)
For the first time, astronomers with the NASA Kepler spacecraft mission have discovered a planet orbiting two stars. This is a fundamentally different kind of planetary system than has ever been discovered before. The new system is known as “Kepler-16” and consists of two stars — one about 69% the mass of the Sun, and the other only 20% the mass of the Sun, which circle each other every 41 days. Around both of these circles the Saturn-mass planet, half rock and half gas, known as Kepler-16b, with a period of 229 days.

Get your cosplay props out, that galaxy may not be so far, far away after all! :O
