LOL! So, 470 million light years is now considered a 'stone's throw"?

Ooooookay. The Hubble is a great device. I hope it can remain in service. The deep field picture taken a few years back was incredible.

Hmmm....let me get back to you on that.

>Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope said Tuesday that they had reached far enough out in space and back in time to be within "a stone's throw" of the Big Bang itself

Perhaps we'll see back far enough to photograph the Creator...

Nice pic, but that wasn't the one from the Times story, right? BTW, how do you take pics from the web?

I think that was the pic in the Times article. I found it on Yahoo News Photos (search: Hubble).

When you see a pic on a website, right click on your mouse, go to "Properties"; highlight and copy the Address/URL of the pic; come back to FR and do the HTML coding which is [img src="insert the URL here"] -- except use the < mark to bracket the beginning of the HTML command, and the > mark to close it, rather than the [ and ] marks....if you know what I mean.

I hope it can remain in service.

People risk their lives for all sorts of stupid things - driving cars around in circles as fast as they can for example - so it seems quite reasonable to allow them to try to save the Hubble.

Go back to the Big Bang when it was very small and put a candle snuffer over it. No more jihadists. No more anything else either, but there's always a tradeoff.

Thanks a lot for the info. I wrote it out longhand in the hope that I will remember more it easily. I'll try with this story.

LOL. I did enjoy the tidbit that some of the objects are perceived with light intensity of 1 photon per minute! That is amazing.

I tried, but a X within a box within a larger box appeared when I previewed. Does that mean it's copyrighted or what happened?
