This three and a half minute video displays some of the more spectacular imagery taken by this awesome piece of engineering.

Thank you to Nasa.gov and Hubblesite.org for the images.

The beautiful, lilting music was composed by Jai Larkan and comes from the album “Where To Land”.

This is a review of the album by local music mag aficianado, Clip Tickles. He’s pretty eccentric so look out for it!

What style would you describe your music as?

“If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard that question, well I wouldn’t be sitting here writing this, I’d probably be on a beautiful, tropical island watching mermaids at play with the dolphins and whales while the mermen flap by trying to intimidate and impress me with their huge muscles……?” Continue Reading »
