    1. Man I remember reading about the termination shock a few months ago, and getting sucked into wikipedia for like TWO HOURS. Interesting things such as “the voyager [i forget if it's 1 or 2] transmission is about as strong as a refrigerator light”, and by the time it gets to us, it is “one billionth as strong as a watch battery – a faint whisper in space”. I also read about all kinds of stuff I’d hever heard about, including heliosheath, Centaurs, KBOs, and all other kinds of phenomenon I’d never heard about.

      Then I promptly forgot 50% of it :) Great stuff though..!
