Large Hadron Collider: take 2

Last year I was excited about the LHC, but it had an itch. It's supposed to be fixed now! Let the black holes come ;-)

(old but good pictures here)

meteoroid

Two days ago, earth was hit by a meteoroid. So what ?

This was the first time in human history that we knew a couple of days in advance that this meteor would hit our planet! You have all seen it many times in movies how NASA, NSA or MI6 are "tracking" all kind of objects that are approaching Earth, but in reality it is not as easy as in the movies (surprise surprise).

The two by five meter rock burned up in the atmosphere above Africa (Sudan).

Has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the world yet?

Has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the world yet? imho not yet ;-)

The html source of the page states: "if the lhc actually destroys the earth & this page isn't yet updated please email mike___frantic.org to receive a full refund"

If you have not already, enjoy the LHC pictures...

EDIT: Dieter points out they have a really cool webcam inside the LHC!!

LHC

The Large Hadron Collider is almost finished. Enjoy the awesome pictures. And for those who wonder... yes it does run Linux!

Best comments so far:
The first picture looks a lot like the flying spaghetti monster ;-)
The third picture has an active stargate ;-)
