COUNT THE STARS CON-TEST -- Hubble Ultra View - Universe - Space - Galaxies - Evolution or Intelligent Design ?
Time to dust off your super microscope and try to win the grand prize. Simply estimate the number of stars in the following mind-boggling view of our universe -- actually, just a teeny-weeny part of our universe. The view you see here http://www.spacedaily.com/images/hub...-desk-1024.jpg was only a dark patch of far-distant sky that even the Hubble, at first, couldn't see. The view was taken as though the Hubble was looking through a straw that was eight-foot long. Yep, I repeat: as seen through a straw EIGHT-FEET LONG. To get this view of galaxies galore -- taken last year and now known as the Hubble Ultra View -- resulted from millions of seconds of exposure, one second at a time over a very long period. We're looking for the most accurate estimate of the number of stars -- NOT galaxies, mind you, because that's too easy -- and all entries should be mailed to: Count the Stars Con Test Smithsonian Insitution National Museum of Natural History Constitution Avenue & 10th Street NW Washington DC USA 20560 The grand prize will be a Super Tinkertoy Telescope which you'll be able to us to doublecheck the findings of the Hubble. (Please note that all guesses under 1,000,000,000,000 will be automatically disqualified as being too few.)
