Astronomy Picture of the Day!

If you look closely at this picture, you will notice that there are tiny little points of light scattered all over the place.  Those little lights are stars.  Contrary to popular belief, stars do not, in fact, twinkle.  The reason most people think they are twinkling is because people are always drunk and mistaking the strobe lights on passing jets for stars.  Some people have even briefly described the heavens as 'spinning' before falling face-down in the mud.  While it is concievable for the stars to appear to spin because of the rotation of the Earth, you would have to be a retard to wait long enough to notice any change.
