Astronomy Picture of the Day!

As you can tell, I'm in Mexico for an astronomy conference this weekend.  Mexican astronomy is quickly surpassing American astronomy in global respect for many reasons.  Most importantly, they don't have NASA fucking things up every other week.  You lose a lot of global respect when your ride blows up.  Secondly, innovations such as the Mobile Observational Observatory Observer (pictured above) have really pushed the envelope of modern astronomy.  Not only was it concieved, designed and built on a budget that was probably half of NASA's, it hasn't blown up yet.  I think that putting two telescopes on top of each other is another great idea too because it really looks like you mean business.
