This suggests that there could be between 125-225 billion galaxies.
If we assume that these are evenly distributed across the sky, then there could be anywhere from 200 to 400,000 galaxies behind your sand grain

#JWST math: grain of sand at arm's length est of 125-225B galaxies. At 100B stars/galaxy:
100B galaxies x 100B stars/galaxy = 1.e+22 stars
10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars
Or Ten Sextillion or ten thousand million million million

grains of sand have on average a radius of 1/16 to 2 mm (R). let's assume something at arm's length's about 75 cm away (r) so we can find how much "space" the grain of sand takes up in the sky by using [steradians] to take up (2 pi h)/r, where h is given by r(1-cos(theta)) = h
English
simplifying, area = 2 * pi * 1 -cos(theta)
cos(theta) simply equals r/sqrt(R2 + r2)
working out, we get 2.2 x 10-5 to 2.2× 10-8 rad2 for its area. Dividing this by the total area, which is 4 pi, we get values of 1.8 × 10-6 to 1.7 × 10-9 as fractions of the total area of the sky

The @US_FDA is bordering on criminal with their slow walking of #NVAX vaccine. @Novavax To consider mRNA variant boosters on mice data alone???

#VRBPAC FDA meeting on adding omicron strain to vaccines this summer/fall took interesting turn when three members said @Novavax's old-school Wuhan strain--not yet EUA'd by FDA--seems sturdier than either of mRNA vaxes. @KHNews

Approve #NVAX now!

And in the biggest shocker of any VRBPAC I've seen, Novavax showed up. We're used to them not being invited to the party. And not only did they show up, they actually presented new data on Omicron including BA1 BA2 and BA5. And it was very impressive data too h/t @doctorvasan

Probably about time to revive this slice of history.

Feb. 10, 1899 - The new men's basketball team plays its first home game at a Lawrence skating rink. The Jayhawkers beat the Topeka YMCA 31-6. About fifty people watched the event.

The anti-smoking campaign has been successful because it’s been clear, concise and leveraged visceral images that convey fact, not opinion.
We need to double down on these effective tactics and recruit more authentic messengers to give context and meaning to these images.
