Hi Tom; I have visited NASA "a lot" <G> I just hadn't come across that shot of earth at night. BTW more on that photo.. Message 15077824 and look at the post I was replying to, he noticed something I failed to think of in my fascination with it. ------------ I'm not an astronomer just a humble navigator, but the heavens do hold more interest to me than the average person would have. Like when Hallie's Comet visited I ran out and bought 3 new telescopes. <G> I can show people most of the Moons of Jupiter with just binoculars..( 3 to 5 at a time ) are visible without a telescope on a good night just most people don't think to look. ------------- Now here is the scary part..You have heard of the Quasars on the outer limits of our universe that they can see with radio telescopes and that by the light shift they can tell the Quasars are receding from us at very near the speed of light ? Also they hope to have Hubbell do some real far out looking. Here is the RUB and none of the Astronomers I've read have pointed it out. IF a Quasar or some such was coming at us at the Speed of light we could never see it until it arrived not with anything not even with radar. In other words if the expanding universe people are correct they don't seem to realize that they will still see it expanding even as it collapses, right up until the instant it takes us out. Every thing we look at in space is really the History of what was. Jim
