I saw it on the big screen the day it came out. It was pretty faithful to the book. The lonely "For Carl" at the end was poignant, and sad.

Default Plenty of pics

For thousands of great astronomy pics, go to ASTRONOMY PICTURE OF THE DAY, 14 years+ of a great daily pic.

I love the movie Contact. I always get excited when I see it on TV.

I have the App, Star Walk which is pretty cool. There are several astronomy apps but Star Walk is my favorite.

Nice thread, but about half of the live threads on this board currently start with the word official.

Its getting kind of silly looking don't you think?

I think the word "official" is just there to try to keep from having multiple threads. Success varies...

StarWalk used to be my favorite until I found StarmapPro!!! More expensive but it can do just about everything! Even control your telescope through wifi or adhoc with the associated app installed on your laptop.

Yes, you are right about that for the die-hard astronomer who has the telescope equipment. For the rest of us without telescopes such as myself I'm happy with Star Walk.

That's only a very small part of what that app can do though. I highly recommend it for all the other reasons though!
