Happy 4th of July!!

To celebrate, how about reading the very first internet distributed copy of the Declaration of Independence? Back in 1971 Project Gutenberg started by Micheal Hart typing in that famous document and sending it around the "internet" back then. Nice to see how well the internet has become a beacon for freedom of information.

If fireworks are your thing, space has it's own display for you. Pictures by the Hubble telescope show supernova remnant LMC N 49 which looks just like a big fireworks display. Pretty cool.

And finally if you're interested, the history of the 4th of July.
