Astronomers developed a mosaic of the distant universe, called the Hubble Legacy Field, which documents 16 years of observations from the Hubble Space Telescope. The image contains more than 200,000 galaxies that stretch back through 13.3 billion years of time to just 500 million years after the Big Bang. Because you need a new wallpaper for your home screen

Jokes on them; there are 265,001 galaxies.

200,000 galaxies in a field of view approximately equal to the size of the full moon. Mind boggling. when you realize what a tiny fraction of the observable space that actually is.

If we were able to increase the magnification 100x, would we be able to find 100x more?

I think it's more a matter of exposure time.

It is also linked to magnification, and the smallest 'pixel' we can capture. 100x magnification may not result in the discovery of 100x more galaxies, but it will be quite a lot more than the 265,000.

I'm not a physicist so take anything I say with a grain of salt. But I've always wondered if the universe has an infinite shape. This would lead to some interesting ideas... such as some of those galaxies in the Hubble mosaic being be our own Milky Way galaxy from different angles.

When I was a kid and learned about atoms I wondered if stars could be the nucleus of atoms on a celestial scale, and if everything together made a giant mega-person. It is still a fun thought, along with the way they did it in Men In Black with the gem on the cat's necklace.

University of Queensland researchers are investigating the use of maggots, locusts and other alternative proteins in a range of specialty foods. I think I'd rather eat scientist

This reminds of the movie "Encino Man" when "Link" catches the fly and pops it into his mouth and Pauly Shore's character says, "meat group."
Exactly what are they investigating? Humans have been eating those things for thousands of years.
The best way to get people to eat stuff like that is to make sure they don't know what it is when they first try it. We did that with our nieces. We knew they wouldn't touch calamari if they knew what it was so we had them try it first and after they said they liked it we told them what it was. They turned up their noses a bit but continued eating it. For many people, if not most and I am included, the idea of something can turn them off more than its actual taste and smell.

CodeGuppy, unlike other introductory platforms such as Scratch which use visual block-based languages, aims to teach kids (and teens and "creative adults" to code by writing Javascript. We might have to call Child & Family Services about this

A lot of attention is paid to Scrum, but how widely used is it? Nothing to see here

SCRUM is like the pirate code - it’s just a set of guidelines.

This study brought to you by Scrum Training Incorporated. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

All of the gov devs on my team had to go to a 2-day scrum master class, and now they have to go to Austin to take a scrum dev class.
Someone here has not only drank the kool-aid, they're freakin' bathing in it.

The only reason SCRUM came out first is because the 'ad-hoc' method wasn't included...
