This is a must see - a collection of the front pages of hundreds of newspapers from around the world on November 5, 2008.

I ran across this on the excellent election meta-polling and analysis site, electoral-vote.com, which I have been studying compulsively for the last 6 weeks or so.

There is some fascinating info posted now, including an analysis of the accuracy of the pollsters (Quinnipiac = 100%, Rasmussen = 43%) and an analysis for evidence of a Bradley Effect that concluded it did not exist in this election.

Finally, a very cool slideshow of electoral-vote.com's daily metapoll maps from the end of the primaries until Election Day.

God bless America!

New Footage from MERCURY!

The imaging of Mercury began in 1970 with the Mariner missions, a project that was successful in documenting 45% of the planet's surface. NASA's Messenger spacecraft has captured an additional 45%, as shown in this striking photo. The planet is shown in double - actual coloration and a the output of 11 color filters.

Even more amazing, check out this clip - actual footage from the planet Mercury!



Its so surreal, especially getting this footage seemingly out of the blue at a time when everything is going so crazy in the world right now. If this were all a movie, the scrolling view of the planetary surface would suddenly reveal either a black monolith, an alien missile base or Jesus Christ himself taking a final rest break before rolling on down to Earth to reveal the end of the human race as we know it.
