In the news, stunning images from the Hubble Space Telescope were released on Tuesday. Using Einstein's concept that clusters of galaxies magnify and stretch light, scientists have been able to see stars 1/20th as bright as anything heretofore seen. Meanwhile, many people continue to consult those same stars for omens and hints to their future. If it weren't for pencil necked, pointy headed nerds like the guys at NASA, we would still be checking our horoscopes, looking for omens, and praying to the Moon. Well, that's not quite true. Some people will always check their horoscope, look for signs, and pray to the Moon no matter what science reveals to us. Scott reckons we need folks like that to preserve the curve.
