I have been zooming in and out on the high resolution version from here http://www.eurekalert.org/images/release_graphics/pparc101805_1.jpg for days. I hope they revisit NGC1097 with all four scopes at once. I hate to admit it but maybe I won't miss the Hubble so much, after all, with the new terestrial observatories taking snapshots like this. <br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
