Last week I posted a phenomenal statistic regarding the largest number of authors to submit a joint article to Science: 350. I stand corrected. Today's issue of Science makes it clear: The Pierre Auger Collaboration of 445** scientists collectively penned Correlation of the Highest-Energy Cosmic Rays with Extragalactic Objects. I'm certain I would be floored by the findings (if only I could understand them) but I am astonished at what it must have taken just to get the first sentence agreed to. Another item for my "I've got to find out more about this" list.
**Thanks to Barbara Jasny, who just sent the article with this detail.
