The mathematician and comedian Matt Parker has some further analysis here, where he calculates the awesomeness of this event at approximately 2.2 kilo-Alderaans of awesome.
If you enjoyed Matt Parker then you might like to know he's 1/3 of the Festival of the Spoken Nerd, who will be in Edinburgh for 2 nights in August (with a different show each night). It's a thoroughly enjoyable evening of science and comedy - details are at http://fotsn.com/.
