These great hollow globes of artificial super-metals, and artificial transparent adamant, ranged in size from the earliest and smallest structures, which were no bigger than a very small asteroid, to spheres considerably larger than the Earth. (Olaf Stapledon, STAR MAKER)

The Galactic Data Dump
Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day is a photograph representing data on 1.7 billion stars.

Coming down the road: an even bigger data dump!
