wow. just -- wow.
If I'm going to delurk for lousy politics, I should also do it for amazing news that reminds me that there is still wonder in the world: Voyager has reached the edge of the solar system.
Eight-point-seven billion miles. Wow. Oh man. This is the feeling that got me into science in the first place.

000 000 000 billion
viz, a new name every 3 logs.
