AAS: Slackerpedia Galactica

This is fun, if a bit specialized. As seen at a poster here at the AAS meeting: the Slackerpedia Galactica.

It's Wikipedia for astronomy, as you always wished it could be. So far, my favorite entry is the one describing quasars as "vicious little dots".

The entry for Pluto needs a bit of expansion, but shows promise.
