My question, which could probably easily be answered if I bothered to do some conversions with the data supplied in the article, is how much of the night sky our closest neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy (M31), really takes up for the naked eye. Because UCSC researchers have found that it's much, much bigger than we thought.
In less intellectual but more entertaining news, Mr. Blackwell has assigned the euphemism "style-free and fashion deprived" to Britney Spears (who makes 1st for the 3rd time) and Paris Hilton (who makes 1st for the second time) in his annual worst-dressed list, undoubtedly to the glee of many such as myself. Also rewarding was his inclusion of my favorite Angelina Jolie and even Nancy Pelosi in his list of 10 "fabulous fashion independents." The unfortunate thing about all this style criticism is that any actress can be portrayed as a poor dresser. Taking bad shots of people is so easy, particularly when they're in runway clothes.
