At the January meeting of the American Astronomical Society a group of radio astronomers announced that
the Milky Way was about 50% more massive than previously thought. Stephen Colbert, possibly the greatest comedic mind of our time, got wind of that morsel of news and here's the result (Warning: May cause scientists to fall out of their chairs laughing):
Nick, that was funny. I about died when he made reference to Andromeda's apparent magnitude. :)

ReplyDeleteWith all the milk which is dumped by some Europeans, it is possible :b .

ReplyDeleteI might also add that our Milky way also has a couple of smaller galaxies (large and small Magellanic clouds) that have been pulled in, JUST LIKE the Andromeda galaxy. In your face, Andromeda!
