COMMENTS
The next term consists of the first 16208 digits of Pi and is too large to show here (see A060421). Ed T. Prothro found this probable prime in 2001.
A naive probabilistic argument suggests that the sequence is infinite. - Michael Kleber, Jun 23 2004

FORMULA
a(n) = floor(10^(A060421(n)-1)*A000796), where A000796 is the constant Pi = 3.14159... . - M. F. Hasler, Sep 02 2013
MAPLE
Digits := 130; n0 := evalf(Pi); for i from 1 to 120 do t1 := trunc(10^i*n0); if isprime(t1) then print(t1); fi; od:
