		<description><![CDATA[As NASA&#8217;s Dawn orbiter approached the Ceres in late February, it released tantalizing images of a pair of bright spots on the floor of a big crater of the dwarf planet. But after the craft began orbiting Ceres on March 6, 2015, the newsfeed went silent. Conspiracy theories started brewing, naturally, about how the government was keeping [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a remarkable discovery, astronomers using ESO&#8217;s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile have discovered that quasars separated by billions of light years are aligned parallel to each other, as if they were under the influence of an unseen mechanism that gets them pointing in the same direction. This mechanism seems to be related to the [&#8230;]]]></description>

Messier 41 is the most famous and easiest to see. The lesser known NGC 2362 is fainter, but prettier.

In 2013, a Google employee named Yonatan Zunger posted a long explanation on his Google+ page.  Summarized here, Zunger explains that barns are painted red because red paint is cheap.
