obama greeted by about ~10,000 people in oslo last night at the grand hotel. used to go up top that hotel sometimes for this bar etoile. the french enjoyed the classy atmosphere. i didn’t mind because there was a good view of the city, but the cheapest drink was a gin and tonic for $18. not a bad price actually for oslo.

Coming from Barbara, that’s a weighty statement. Respect the Lady.

“100 Billion” The Most Profound Image in Human History - Hubble’s New View of the Universe (VIDEO)

—

The new Wide Field Camera 3 aboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has taken the deepest image yet of the Universe in near-infrared light. The faintest and reddest objects in the image are likely the oldest galaxies ever identified, having formed between only 600–900 million years after the Big Bang. The image shows thousands of galaxies, some more than 12 billion years old. The field view of this image would fit behind a grain of sand held at arm’s length against the sky. Almost every dot in this photo is an entire galaxy of stars and who knows what fascinating undiscovered mysteries.

I, For One, Welcome, etc. of the Day: Something rather unusual is happening in the skies above Norway. It seems an interdimensional portal has opened and is presently transmitting a greenish-bluish death ray of some sort. Actually, no one quite knows what to make of this, but one thing is certain: The truth will be very dull and decidedly un-Howard the Duck.

Gizmodo has a whole bunch of photos of the space spiral from all around Norway, as well as video of the death of us all in action. Check it out.

More can be found here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.
