    Hey, that looks frighteningly similar to this picture, although the latter has a bit more of a red tinge to it.

    Thank you michael! It's always good to know we can count on you to do something completely ridiculous like allowing a 230KB JPEG to be linked from the front page. I'm sure the people that run the site will be more than happy to find they've suddenly used many magnitudes more bandwidth than they should have this month.

    I'm glad to see the editors finally taking a stand against the stupidity that used to go on on this site.

  5. what about the moon??? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    We can have this high resolution to see the "hairs" of the sun, yet we can't see the moon clear enough to see if People actually landed on the Moon? WOW guess it is a hoax that Armstrong never did touch down on the moon.
