The Deepest Photo Ever Taken
Astroturtle writes "Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope's powerful new Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) have taken the deepest visible-light image ever made of the sky. The 3.5-day (84-hour) exposure captures stars as faint as 31st magnitude, according to Tom M. Brown (Space Telescope Science Institute), who headed the eight-person team that took the picture."
2nd, we hope
Mess with the best. Die like the rest!
Regarding "deep" photos, might a goatse link actually be on topic for once?
No, I'm not going to provide it...

It's mindboggling indeed. I suspect that political views are, for some people, like religion. It requires them to throw overboard the ideals that made them turn to science (astronomy in this case) in the first place. It's weird. It's also weird to see him say, on his website, that he doesn't want hatemail... I guess hating is ok only sometimes.
It's a game. Click the link. A very politically incorrect game but so what? Not the first we've seen (Redneck Rampage to name just one other). For crying our loud, people get so touchy any time anyone tries to poke fun at race. Get over it.
Exactly. He also said it's weird that we shouldn't judge other on racial basis, since we can judge people on their friendliness, intelligence, etc. What he fails to understand is that race is not the same as the other things we sometimes judge people from. There are friendly and unfriendly people among all races, and stupid and smart people among all races. To judge on the basis of race would have interesting implications, since I am pretty sure he is white, and I am white, and I know a lot of white people that all are different. How can he expect me to judge all these people in the same way simply because all these people are white?
