As Copyranter points out, Lestoil is bound to enjoy a huge resurgence in popularity when it “becomes the official all-purpose cleaner on Newton.”

(“Newton” is the name of the lunar colony Newt Gingrich wants to build on the Moon).

In honor of the announcement of the UK’s new ahem Ministry of Space, here’s a picture of a half million galaxies.

Fit that into a 140-word Tweet, puny mortals, and remember what we were SUPPOSED to be doing with the 21st Century!

Note: Every dot in above picture is a galaxy, not a star. Discover’s Bad Astronomer says:

Whoa. That?

Dangerous Minds is a compendium of oddities, pop culture treasures, high weirdness, punk rock and politics drawn from the outer reaches of pop culture. Our editorial policy, such that it is, reflects the interests, whimsies and peculiarities of the individual writers. And sometimes it doesn't. Very often the idea is just "Here's what so and so said, take a look and see what you think." I'll repeat that: We're not necessarily endorsing everything you'll find here, we're merely saying "Here it is." We think human beings are very strange and often totally hilarious. We enjoy weird and inexplicable things very much. We believe things have to change and change swiftly. It's got to be about the common good or it's no good at all. We like to get suggestions of fun/serious things from our good-looking, high IQ readers. We are your favorite distraction.
