1. Astronomy
Hi mates,
If any of you have one, could you send me a few pics of constellations? I want
to make a sky chart program in Euphoria. Any help will be appreciated.

try this link:
http://www.nasa.jpl.gov
it's nasa's site, and is just flat chocked full
of basically anything astronomy.
pics from hubble (huge buggers), pics from
big telescopes...etc...
the caveat is that some of the images are like
3000x3000 or some such cockamamie sizing...
it don't fit on yer monitor...
so perhaps in your program you could do something
with and about that...
perhaps... what about making a seamless 'globe'
of the nightsky based upon all of the images of
constellations that are seen from each point
from earth? you could then walk the earth, seeing
what you would see if you were at that point
on the earth on your monitor... dotted lines
perhaps 'joining' the major constellations...
