You Are Here (On Earth)

Posted by timothy on from the human-chauvinist dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "NY Times today has an essay about a map of the entire universe produced by two Princeton astronomers using a variety of data including the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Its view begins with the Earth at the bottom and extends back almost to the Big Bang at the top, including such objects as the Sloan Great Wall, 1.37 billion light-years long. The map can be found here."

    Just so you know. 'Mensa' Without the 'a' in swedish means when a women has a period... :)
    And.. when you add the 'a', that is like saying that she 'has a period' right now. To have a period.
