22,935 galaxies
All shown at their true position in space with none of this crappy, "oh sod it let's just use a few hundred template images" whining you get from those losers at the SDSS. No sir !

ReplyDeleteIan Rawlings Well, Julian is nearly as amusing as sausages. The first time I saw him, ages ago, he thanked the audience for applauding him by saying "I like a nice warm hand on my entrance."
ReplyDeleteIan Rawlings Yes, the one at the Apollo that I saw was awful crap. Mostly, he's brilliant.
ReplyDeleteGalaxies are not really that close, are they?
