Much like God punished the Egyptians with locusts, the promiscuous students among us shall be met with the blight of scabies. Soon enough, every Harvardian with an irregular patch of skin lined up at UHS, waiting to be examined by the University’s most reputable physicians. Unfortunately, a diagnosis of scabies is traumatic enough without the social stigma. The inevitable questions from roommates (“You hooked up with a freshman?”) or significant others...

Yes, it took a picture sharper than the Hubble could, but it took a lot longer. The instrument is also limited to a patch of sky only about 1?120th the width of the full moon; the Hubble's field of view is 150 times as large. And the Hubble can see ultraviolet and infrared light, which the atmosphere blocks. Ultimately, says Mackay, "we're not competing with the Hubble. We're simply trying...
