    Two observations...

    1. Why is the earth full of active volcanic lava pits?

    2. I thought I saw the reflection from ToyCen's gigantic backyard telescope. Double-checking after I post this.

    Pretty incredible.

    By the way, watching this in anything below 720p is a travesty. Just a heads up since it defaults to 480p.

    I tried to discern what part of the earth that was, but couldn't figure it out.

    Cool, though.

    That was really awesome. Good thing they didn't pass through Russia or they would have just seen white with a volcanic lava pits here and there.

    I tried to get it to start at 720, but it kept going back to 480 as the default.

    Looks amazing in HD. I watched it a couple of times last night before going to sleep. Amazing.
