Hi, Awhile back I was babbling about the newly nominated super-dim Class L main sequence stars, whose very existence was discovered by the 2MASS ALL SKY SURVEY (in the 2 micron infrared). Today's (06-26-05) Astronomy Picture of the Day is a huge 2MASS image of the entire universe! Gorgeous! <http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html> Ok, it's only the LOCAL universe, a mere 1,600,000 galaxies, that's all, all laid out in delicate filaments and long walls to have their snapshot taken. (The stars have been removed; it's all galaxies.) I don't know how many billion lightyears it goes out, but for those who like the BIG PICTURE, it's quite a sight! Definitely worth a glance.
