You Create the Caption

I like to read The Daily Galaxy, a newsblog about science, space exploration, and technology. It’s always got a refreshing look at the news of the day, science-wise. And, I also like to look at ICanHazCheezburger.com, a place where you can look at funny captioned pictures of cats and other animals, as well as humans doing funny things that need captioning. Check it out, but beware of time-sink issues!

So, getting back to Daily Galaxy, it was fun to see an entry there inviting us to create cute captions for a picture of a laser beam shooting out from one of the telescopes on at the Very Large Telescope Array in Chile. It looks like they were doing a laser-guide star observation or possibly just checking out their LGS system. Anyway, check it out and write your own caption! Be creative and have fun!
