[FRIAM] And speaking of levels of heaven

[Jack Leibowitz]

Doug, 

May I boast  for a minute that my wife, retired from NASA,  worked on the HUBBLE and WMAPS. The deep field picture and many other Hubble pics were made possible by her group. She was an analyst  and programmer in those projects. A number of those pics, such as the deep field one, are in the book we spoke of in our e-mail exchange.I am moved, as you are, by those pictures. 

Jack.

  Here's a nice, long  glimpse back towards our beginnings.  *Much* further back than 6.000 years ago, I might add.  All the way back to when our observable universe was a mere 2 billion hears old.  You should pull down the image & stare at all the galaxy dots for a minute or two.  It's good for the soul...

  My favorite photo in this class, however, is still the Hubble ultra-deep field, in visible light looking back about 13 billion years:
