> Hi,

> Awhile back I was babbling about the newly nominated super-dim Class
> L main sequence stars, whose very existence was discovered by the 2MASS
> ALL SKY SURVEY (in the 2 micron infrared).
> Today's (06-26-05) Astronomy Picture of the Day is a huge 2MASS
> image of the entire universe! Gorgeous!

> Ok, it's only the LOCAL universe, a mere 1,600,000 galaxies, that's
> all, all laid out in delicate filaments and long walls to have their
> snapshot taken. (The stars have been removed; it's all galaxies.)
> I don't know how many billion lightyears it goes out, but for those
> who like the BIG PICTURE, it's quite a sight!
> Definitely worth a glance.
