I just ran across the following news item and it immediately gave me an idea to liven things up here.

Southern Arizona Telescope Hits Astronomy Milestone
Quote:
The world's most powerful telescope is now operating from a remote mountaintop in Southern Arizona.
Scientists with the Large Binocular Telescope, L.B.T., on Mount Graham released the first images Thursday. The telescope captured several different versions of a spiral galaxy, commonly known as the Milky Way, 102-million light years from Earth.

My initial reaction was simply "Hunh??"
Heh, if that last sentence was true, I'm a very long way from home and it's no wonder that it's nasty weather outside.
I should note that the report is corrected at the page linked for more details and pics. (

The first binocular light images (one at left) show three false-color renditions of the spiral galaxy NGC 2770. The galaxy is 102 million light years from our Milky Way, a relatively close neighbor.
