In the box to the side, you can download the sounds of particular stars, and the final download is a symphony built from the tones of various ones. Amazing stuff.
Here is just one video with some more.

(Note: It says it's for Windows XP, but I'm running it no probs on 7)

This is the world's most expensive photo. I'm sure some of mine are better.
Rather cool discussion of aliens and the Christian attitude to them. Personally, I'm with Fred.
The perfect solution for writers who forget to take a notebook to bed - write down your inspiration on write-erase pillows:
