Archive.ph hasn't been working for at least a week or so: it never loads.

Never mind, it's just me. Maybe my ISP blocks the site.

20 TB of data every night, incredible. 15 seconds per image and 2 seconds to download.

Hopefully those hi-res images will help us answer the many questions we have, provided the answer is in the south!

And you can view the widely hi-res images interactively here https://skyviewer.app/!

> 20 billion galaxies and 17 billion stars…

Are there more visible galaxies than stars? (Discounting of course that those galaxies are comprised of stars.)

malfist•3h ago
It's estimated their similar in number. 100b galaxies in the _visible_ universe and the Milky Way has around 100b stars
Retric•2h ago
We haven’t detected every star in the Milky Way, low mass stars that stars can be very dim.

However we can also detect individual stars in the Andromeda galaxy and several others as well.

Why do they do this? One of the political divisions is not like the others (one of them is also a colloquial name):

"which will be transferred and processed at facilities in California, France and Britain."

Keep it consistent, else I don't know what else you're playing fast and loose with.
