It is a feat millions of times more impressive than finding a needle in a haystack.

Interesting article. Thanks.
That reminds me. A friend of mine has a powerful telescope, and he once showed me the american flag that was planted on the moon by the apollo astronauts. Can't remember the exact coordinates, but it was amazing to see from here.
