The Best of the Decade
Movies:
1. Snatch (2000)
2. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (2001, 2002, 2003)
In order: fellowship, return of the king, two towers. This movie not only brought the oft-neglected fantasy genre to the forefront, it made the epic a hot property again. The protagonist was a doe-eyed midget, who somehow was even more badass than Magneto the wizard, or Mr. Smith the elf. We...

Thanks to our ingenuity and curiosity, we’ve developed tools to give us super-human views of the light in our universe. This website allows you to see the Milky Way in multiple wavelengths, bringing a new perspective to our already-fascinating reality.
