I have a ton of information from today’s lectures, but I’m going to take it easy and just show you this picture that we1 took. We went into the image lab and manipulated it today. Then tonight, we went onto the roof and looked at it with a telescope. It looks astonishingly close to this — though the colors are quite as pretty.
