...called the Sloan Great Wall...It is a filament of superclusters and clusters of galaxies about 1 billion light years away and almost 1.5 billion light-years long. It would take 250,000,000,000,000,000 copies of the Great Wall of China placed end to end to cover this distance...
When I tell other journalists that I cover the environment, I usually get the same reaction: you're really lucky. (I'm assuming they don't just mean because I still have a job.)

Reyes' 5-year-old granddaughter was attacked in her sleep several weeks ago and awoke to a similarly gory scene in her bed. "The government tells us to cover our beds with mosquito nets at night," says Reyes, "but we don't have the money to buy them." Many of the impoverished families in this countryside community of Llano Grande 2, Masaya, have similar vampire tales. The government reports that more than 70 people here have been bitten...
