The area the UDF photographed occupies a tiny, tiny proportion of the sky - about 11 square arcminutes. The whole of the sky is over 2,400,000 square arcminutes (or just over 41,000 sqaure degrees). The scope of the universe is so so so freaking cool!

This trout is amazing. I know that sort of tech isn't even all that new, but it is still really awesome and also life-changing for those who need it.
Also it's going to lead to Human Revolution which is definitely a good thing.

What astounds me about this tech is just how quickly it is improving. It seems like it's at least once a month that I'm reading about some grand new breakthrough in prosthetics. It's weird, I remember when Deus Ex: Human Revolution came out I was thinking "This is really cool, but they set it a bit close to be believable. It'll never be there by 2027."Quote:
