[extropy-chat] ASTRO: Spitzer/SIRTF images released

[Robert J. Bradbury]

NASA has released the first set of images from the Spitzer Space
Telescope (formerly SIRTF), the 4th of the great observatories.

And you folks are in for a treat...

esp.

It is worth keeping in mind, particularly as the image of
Comet Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 picked up a couple of asteroids
by accident, that SIRTF may be the best shot we currently have
at seeing a Jupiter Brain or Matrioshka Brain.

Am I an optimist or what???
