Thanks for the bump. I read this in one of my science magazines. Good stuff.

It continues to amaze me that when we look at these pictures, we are gazing back in time. The farther we look, the closer we get to the big bang (or whatever). I wonder what the universe looks like as we approach THAT moment, when time began.

I assume those are first generation stars in that galaxy, thus no planets at all. If the light spectrum showed anything more complicated, that would be interesting ...

Cool Beans! Science is great, but best left to private enterprise. Tax dollars are best used going back into the pockets of the consumers.

Awesome! One can almost forget all that shit down here on earth. In this light that terrorism crap appears even more absurd.
