Ok, I’ve picked myself up now. Watch, them again, show them to space geek girlfriend (yeah, I’m a lucky guy to have a space geek girlfriend!). Look at them again, post a link to my Astronomy club website….look at them again…now figure out a way to look at them one more time on my Linux computer at work.

Stunning, amazing, cooler than cool, awesome…..

Jean-Denis:

Download the program VLC for the mac:

videolan.org/vlc/

It is an amazing program for playing videos of nearly every format available. I am sure that you will be able to play these videos using it.
