Excellent - NewsIsFree has an RSS feed for Law.com! Don't tell him, but I'm going to buy my brother a copy of Radio as an early birthday present. Once he has installed it and we get remote access set up, I'll go in and subscribe him to some of the great lawyer blogs (Ernie, Ernest, Rick, Denise, Rory, Will, Staton, etc.). Maybe we'll also be able to use RssDistiller or Stapler to grab headlines from the Kansas City Star.

Even if he doesn't use it to blog (which I hope he will do at least internally at his firm), he'll still be one-step up as the most well-informed lawyer in the office! Plus, he'll hop aboard the RSS cluetrain and understand what I'm talking about in regards to his firm's web site.

Hubble Gives Deepest Glimpse Into Space, Time.

"A single mind-bending snapshot from a new $75 million camera installed earlier this year aboard the Hubble Space Telescope shows 6,000 galaxies, a cosmic core sample of sorts that represents humanity's deepest glimpse into the depths of space and time....

Four images from the new camera were released today, all of them spectacular in their own fashion. The most startling, however, is an image of the so-called "Tadpole," two colliding galaxies 420 million light years away.

The hit-and-run collision between a smaller galaxy and a much larger star swarm left a long trail of stars and gas stretching 280,000 light years, giving the galactic wreck the shape of a tadpole swimming through space.

But it is the background of the image that provides a mind-numbing glimpse of discoveries to come, a background that includes 6,000 discernible galaxies or fragments of galaxies caught in various stages of evolution across the past 13 billion years.

Some of those galactic fragments presumably formed within a billion years or so of the birth of the universe. Astronomers do not yet know how galaxies managed to form so rapidly, but Ford is confident the new camera will help scientists gain critical insights." [Washington Post]

You may have a problem viewing them for the moment because the site is under a heavy load, but you can get to the pictures from the Space Telescope Science Institute.

Do keep trying, though, because these pictures are amazing!
