This was by far and away my favorite entry in this year's contest. A nice depiction of a scientific phenomenon, very good technical capture, and a lovely artistic impression with a lot of mood. What more could ask?

There's a stargazing event at Creswell Crags with Paul Money on the 26th October, by appointment, clouds permitting.

How did you get a picture of God smiling? He has his eyes closed but you can still tell it is him.;-)

Wonderful picture. I agree with Robert Lambert above.

Did an entire relevant thread about presidential candidate statements about science disappear with no explanation?

Actually, it's just what's left of the Cheshire cat.

Yes. Perhaps it disappeared along with the Cheshire cat?

Wonder if Cheshire Cat is related to Heisenberg's cat?

Schroedinger's cat possibly.

Go ask Alice; I think she'll know.

When it comes to a cliff hanger you pray for a miracle.

Oops, did I name the wrong scientist? Oh well, I guess that's a result of uncertainty.

As for Alice, well, she doesn't live here anymore. Or so I've heard.

As for Cliffhanger - pray for rope, helicopter, or Rambo.

Learning from quantum mechanics; you would put in place a protective shield that would alter the odds in favour of life.

And ironically, you can also clearly see that "he" is toothless.

May I request that the above piece of spam be deleted as soon as possible. Some criminal scumbag is attempting a totally amoral scam on the desperate. Get rid of it, please.

Already gone -- we get to them as soon as we see them. That was a particularly bad one.
