Neat. Thanks for posting the article.

This new instrument must be really powerful if it can see two fireflys through thousands of miles of solid earth. ;-)

If you had two fireflies 6 feet apart in Tokyo, Hubble's vision with ACS will be so fine that it will will be able to tell from Washington, D.C., that they were two different fireflies instead of one, says Holland Ford, professor of astronomy ....
