@N@tedog: More ringed planets but Novas will destroy planets easily in any possible way. Substitute IE and FF in yourself.

@undeadmachine: Try [www.stsci.edu] (Space Telescope Science Institute) or [www.hubblesite.org.] I'm not posting a diret link because (1) I haven't hunted it down yet and (2) you'll have a lot more fun finding more desktop pictures than you're expecting right now.

It'd be really weird if we found a galaxy shaped like an 'E' with an orbiting comet

I think the main problem lay with our primitive metrics. If, as stated above, ringed planets represent IE and novae represent Firefox, and theoretically disc galaxies represent Safari, while black holes represent Opera, then we must at least all agree that a true accurate representation of the market share of browsers in the universe cannot presently accurately be measured. While I applaud the originality of cosmos-based metrics, this Saganian formula is fatally flawed. (and this stream of BS is before I had my coffee)

Now I remember why I stopped coming here. Because every other post has a to inject either the ipod or the iphone when the article has absolutely nothing to do with apple. Hope you have fun spending those kickbacks, cause you just may have lost another reader.

I'm going to start a company and the logo is going to be just black. Most of space is pitch black, not to mention much of earth. That's a lot of free advertising. Now what should I sell? Maybe shadows...

@N@tedog: Stars still outnumber planets in the galaxy, since for any one group of planets in a solar system, there's millions/billions more that have none, and planets die out all the time.

Apple is a zealous entity. Whether it is New York City (the big apple) or a celestial body, if it does resemble an Apple, APPLE WILL SUE.

This also means Gigantic Celestial Bodies also prefer Firefox over Opera, Safari and Konqueror as well.
