"@ps61318:
Sagittarius (the constellation) A (standard designator) "star", cuz it's special, pretty much.
@lldsandsll:

"While Apple should certainly make the SDK process easier and allow backgrounding (september?), I think there is a truth here about the web data throughput of apps and circumventing AT&T's minutes that needs to be addressed."
"@ps61318:
As someone who just completed his astrophysics PhD using Arecibo, I can tell you a hell of a lot of cool stuff continues to come out of Arecibo."
"@WiglyWorm:
A tracking device would increase precision, which is needed in this case.

"For those who haven't seen the wonder that is Lilo and Stitch, this is a reference to a scene in which it is demonstrated that Stitch's head (along with his index claw) can play Lilo's Elvis LPs."
"@Log1c:
LISA is what you are looking for, I think.
I think two things that make this different from LISA is that LISA is only trying to keep test masses moving in geodesics (free fall), rather than a super-fancy camera, and that a 30 m piece of foil makes a hell of a solar sail, as someone pointed out, so keeping things all nicely squared away would be harder."
"@Illyr:
We don't believe there is a geometrical center of our universe, although there do seem to be massive black holes at the center of most galaxies."
