I'm new here, I guess it's a general interest forum? Or only racist subjects? |

However, the main aim we're trying to accomplish here is to raise the ratio of men to broads. As it stands now it's about 100 men for every 1woman. Hopefully we can raise that to 100-2 in the near future through diligence and hard work. |

Earth based telescopes, and the Hubble too, have mechanics (and gyroscopes) that keep the lenses pointes in one precise location for the duration of the exposure. In this regard, a telescope is like a big clock with the hands ticking backward. The backward motion must account for the forward motion of the earth’s rotation and in the case of Hubble, its orbital velocity.

All the pictures are photoshop fakes. Not only that, NASA gets them made up on the cheap in China. |

"Staring at one spot in the sky for ten days, Hubble kept taking pictures one after another for the entire exposure time, accumulating data. Each exposure was typically 15 to 40 minutes long. Separate images were taken in ultraviolet, blue, red, and infrared light. By combining these separate images into a single color picture, astronomers will be able to infer — at least statistically — the distances, ages, and composition of the galaxies in the HDF image." http://www.hubblesite.org/newscenter.../1996/01/text/ |

Original Caption Released with Image: NASA's Spitzer, Hubble and Chandra space observatories teamed up to create this multi-wavelength, false-colored view of the M82 galaxy. The lively portrait celebrates Hubble's "sweet sixteen" birthday. X-ray data recorded by Chandra appears in blue; infrared light recorded by Spitzer appears in red; Hubble's observations of hydrogen emission appear in orange, and the bluest visible light appears in yellow-green.
