POPS100 Billion Galaxies 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.

POPSMother of teenager who killed herself over body image pleads She also criticised supermodel Kate Moss, who last month caused uproar by proclaiming "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" - a mantra often used by people with eating disorders. 'That is definitely not going to help young people who are struggling to cope. They need proper guidance,' she said. In a heart-rending plea to other parents, she added: 'Cherish your children because you never know what they're going to do. 'Just be there for them, listen to them, and don't shrug them off when they really need to talk to you.'

POPSThe Big Picture of the Milky Way The image spans a mind-boggling area of 120 feet long (ca. 36.6 m) by 3 feet wide at its sides, bulging to 6 feet at the center of our humongous galaxy. The panorama represents the combined effort of two Spitzer survey teams, who used two of the onboard instruments.

POPSRacist Worshipers Demand Their Fix How utterly disturbing the image was and anyone who would label it controlling and censoring to take that image down must be mentally challenged to not be able to understand how it may feel to be part of a race that has been historically compared to monkeys by RACISTS. But that doesn't surprise me because that would require thought, empathy, and compassion for someone else instead of his Lily-white wanna-be-rich ass.
