This was of course predicted in the Bible.

Huh. Pretty Cool. Thanks.

Oh shit, just saw the Star Wars scroll theme begin. We're going to be invaded by Dark Helmet!

That was very cool....I wish there was a detailed explanation of what makes up the matter in the pic.....

I've always been adamant that NASA (and anyone else who discovers a planet or solar system or star) should start naming stuff with Star Wars in mind. "Oh look, an asteroid belt - let's name that the former planet of Alderaan."

The link to the Whole Mosaic in the upper right is also cool. On that one you use your arrow keys to navigate in 360. Very cool.

Fucking sweet! Keep them coming if possible.

Too soon.

You're not thinking the consequences of this through.

f*ck Woodruff. Star Wars is way better.

Also, I would note that Star Wars is "a long time ago" (ignore that it's a galaxy far, far away). Star Trek is in the future. Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable that a newfound star or planet should be from "a long time ago" and then named for a Star Wars planet or star system.

Given there are ~10^12 stars in the galaxy and ~10^24 stars in the universe we should probably hold off on the star wars names until we find the ones which can support viable colonies. That way Alderaan may one day have its own seat on the UN and humanity's destiny will be complete.

Spoiler: Ban Ki-Moon was a Sith lord all along

That's not nearly enough pixels.

Did you wait for it to adjust? Go slow and allow it to catch up with your zoom. I thought it was pretty freakin awesome.
