Kind of neat, but not worthy of a news article: The UltraVista telescope (http://www.ultravista.org/) in Chile just realeased a composite image of the 6,000 long term exposure photos it took of the night sky.

It shows nearly 200,000 galaxies in the hires picture.

I did that with a few Hubble photos. Put it on Photo Paper too! ($600 a roll!!)

I love Government jobs sometimes.
