Hi Doug-

Very cool! The photo for my birthday happens to be one of fragments from comet Shoemaker-Levy. One of the discoverers, Gene Shoemaker, was an old professor of mine, so it was a nice connection.

Regards,

Bob

Thanks, I'm pretty happy with the results!

I got the Andromeda Galaxy, which is cool because it's (to me) about the most interesting thing I can pick out with the naked eye. That is, when it's dark enough.

If I'm ever an all-powerful governor, it's gonna be "lights out!" at 2200.

Mine showed how the planet K PAX orbits around the constellation Lyra.

I love Hubble images and videos: This was mine - Interacting Galaxies Arp 147.
Arp 147 consists of a pair of interacting galaxies. The left-most galaxy in this image appears nearly edge-on to our line of sight and features a smooth ring of starlight. The right-most galaxy exhibits a clumpy, blue ring of intense star formation.

I am always astounded seeing photos like this at what the real scale of these "objects" is. The image in and of itself doesn't really give a good sense of that magnitude.

Well Bob, you may have gone to NAU. Eh? :)

Hi Willis-

Actually, Gene taught me a bit of geology mapping Rainbow Basin in California while at a school located a bit west of NAU. That was where I learned not to be upset by the scorpions found under my sleeping bag in the morning.

Regards,

Bob
