The video, created for the new Rubin Art Museum exhibit Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe, uses over a decade of data collected by researchers at the planetarium. Called the Digital Universe Atlas, the data encompasses the precise location of every object ever observed in the sky. From quasars to pulsars to black holes to nebulas, it's all there.

The observable universe spans 13.7 billion light years, with the background radiation aftershock of the Big Bang as the oldest, and farthest, signal. At that end of the universe lies the oldest material in creation, which, thanks to billions of years of expansion, has accelerated to almost the speed of light. That layer forms an event horizon past which not even light can travel, ringing our universe in what is essentially an inside out black hole.

The son of Tennessee Representative Mike Kernell, David Kernell was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury in Knoxville for intentionally accessing Palin's Yahoo email account without authorisation. According to the three-page indictment, David Kernell gained access to gov.palin@yahoo.comon September 16 by exploiting weaknesses in Yahoo's password reset feature.

All he had to know was her postcode and high school, and bingo, he changed her password.

They can catch him - but what about all those spam senders?  Wouldn't it be better if the concentrated on catching them?

An investigation by the ICO showed that the companies were "opening accounts in the wrong names and passing inaccurate information to credit reference agencies and debt collection agencies".

Even though the errors caused "real damage and distress to customers", at the moment this is just a shot across the bows, giving them a chance to sort matters out.  However, if they don't get things right, they'll have committed a criminal offence, so it seems likely that cheerful Charlie Dunstone will be keen to resolve it rather than risk one of his glamorous sailing trips being disrupted by PC Plod.
