In 60 minutes
Sunday...
the host is shown
a picture that everyone else
has seen...
and the host of 60 minutes
looks at the photo and asks...
"And all those little dots are Stars?"


and the science guy sez...

"All these little dots are galaxies..."


How stupid can 60 Minutes be????

Notice how the 'science guys' removed ALL the 'fake stars' (or wats yous
call gravitional lenses) (another word for fake stars)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC1-qgR7YO0

i guess they heard 60 Minutes was coming ...

they'll put the fake stars back when 60 minutes is gone.


"And all those little dots are Stars?"

"All these little dots are galaxies..."


Hey! WHERE ARE ALL THE FAKES STARS?!?? WHERE DID THEY GO?

Instead of taking a picture of billions of galaxies, why can they not
just take a picture of ONE galaxy and do a closeup of it?

The most likely reason would be that you are too ignorant to know where
to look for galaxies as there are nine galaxies that can be seen with
the naked eye and that number goes up significanly with binoculars.

The second most likely reason would be that you need glasses.
