Okay, changed my desktop pic. Had several piled up that I've been wanting to use, but I was happiest with this one. :)

Given the direction of sun you can see from how the small planet/moon is lit, the comet trails point to the wrong direction (they should point away from the sun as they are caused by sun wind).

And how do you know that they are comets?
Maybe they are alien ships that passes from afar?  ;)

There's actually a whole mess of scientific inaccuracies in that pic, but I could care less, just so long as it looked cool. :)

Indeed.

And hey! Look who finally posted his 4th post after being AWOL for 100000 years! How's your Singleplayer Hyperspace Wars project going? Wouldn't blame you if you gave it up. It sounded like a lot of work.

That's very true - I mean, whoever saw a giant, blue, glowing clock in space?

I didn't give it up, I just stopped working on it about 5 months ago. It's on 'perma-freeze' for the time being. Stay tuned though... :)

Oh well, the Widget clock would've been there regardless of the desktop background, so it's always going to have that inaccuracy. :P
