I have no idea what it’s talking about....but it’s probably Bush’s fault.

Just imagine the size of the critter that would leave a trail of bread crumbs like that.

For those interested you can get the SDSS zoomable sky with the NASA worldwind program. Really cool program. Google earth now has something similar as well.

some of the postings on the link are pretty funny. debating academic nerds. i say that in the nicest way due to the fact that i can't understand any word of their's over 4 characters long. i like the guy who wrote:

As noted by a poster from your link:

"200,000 galaxies can't be wrong!"

It sounds like a bunch of mumbo-jumbo to me, and I love science/astronomy.

Wouldn’t it also take at least 2 days to examine one galaxy? Or can they identify its orientation within minutes?

I’m confused :/

Where are they pointing?

They are pointing towards that large "hole" in the universe discovered a few weeks ago. Methinks God has something to do with it...

Just a guess.

I read a book a few years ago that talked about a few concepts of superstrings’ interactions with matter (strings). This sort of thing reminds me of a few basic models. This is not necessarily a function of the nature of space if it can attributed to an external force like a brane. I don’t really buy a lot of the general concepts that constitute string theory, m-theory, etc. This just reminds me of a few general ideas and I could see some people very excited about this. It’s at least very odd.

I have studied a sample of 200,000 elliptical galaxies with redshifts <0.20 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to investigate whether they tend to have their ellipticities aligned along a particular axis.

Dude, you have WAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY too much time on your hands...

elliptical galaxies - Google Search
Results 1 - 10 of about 1,610,000 for Elliptical Galaxies.

I picked one from Google to read or at least skim through it:
