INTERESTING HIDDEN FINDS IN REVAMPED HUBBLE'S FIRST NEW   ACS   IMAGES

Hubble images enhanced by eager amateur have more air miles than Hubble images enhanced by Hubble image engineers alone. Read on.

Hubble ACS images are extra explored through enhancements and reveal even more astronishing feats of deep distant viewing.

Two colliding galaxy images - named 'Mice' and 'Tadpole' - both have hidden content.

Main Hubble ACS images site

THE MICE

The 'Mice' colliding galaxies have a huge superform of dim 'silent' matter stretching outward into reaches of deep space.

The 'Mice' expands in size in faint bluish radiations when enhanced, showing an enlarged glowing arena of activity involving the ongoing collision.

Sundry background information from deeper space is also 'silent' in the image, hidden in dim medias, that is, when enhanced, small objects become larger, and new objects also appear not seen in the dark medias of the Hubble ACS original.

For example, eight more objects are revealed in the enhanced image at right, next.

After a certain point in enhancements, the objects quickly begin to blur and the background begins to fill with mottled textures. I do not see this as the air bag stopping all further progress. When further enhanced, into the blurr, more can be revealed, for instance tendrils which seem to tether between galaxies indicating interraction. Click again on the above enhanced right view and faint tendrils can be seen.

Even if you do not like my enhancements, you certainly have to admire Hubble in the fun it's new images are going to allow the curious and none conditional thinkers who might get into exploring the Hubble original ACS images at leisure.

I have taken trouble to show simply what is there, missed or overlooked by Hubble image engineers. It is possible to extract a great deal of bonus points from these images with the new Hubble camera, as the above illustrations amply demonstrate.

A Dss image of the 'Mice' shows a very small object which does not lend iteself well at all to major image enhancings, the results of enhancements are poor at best revealing little more. However as seen at left the Dss image does show the extended range of huff and puff and two long tails around the two galaxies.

The Hubble ACS version is special because huge outthrusts of matter are seen around the collision area, revealed as dim but definately present matter radiating in optically visible bands of the spectrum. (Optical means visible, such as daylight).

SPECULATIONS ON HOW LONG ANTENNA ARMS MAY BE FORMED

See the next image for the saga on how a long antenna arm may have formed, involving galaxy Ngc 1512. How long galaxy tails can form, is suggested in this next surprise striking Ngc 1512 Dss image shown next, and explained in the Infinity page. A different antenna forming activity is described here.


Caution for purists, the Infinity page (linked in the above paragraph) contains writing not suited for rote reading or factuals, I cut loose to a conciderable degree in speculating how such 'antenna' can form by long distance reach via making contact with gravity waves containing energy in excitements, rather than mass. Like I say, caution to purists, when reading the GIC Infinity page.

The GIC 'infinity page' is the closest I have ever gotten to percieving an interface between the fundamental conversion of energy to matter and matter to energy on a large scale basis. I actually believe (though this can be corrected in an instant), that I have come within one or two steps of visually perceiving a conjecture as to how energy can convert to matter, on a large scale basis. If not correct, at least a model may be viable in the conjectures. I also believe that energy came first, in the form of seething gravity waves pervading the whole of the universe, this sea of discovery came first, before consolidations which came shortly after and are now known as matter. All of this, can be said, in light of the above Ngc 1512 image in which a long tail, winds around the main galaxy at a very verry verrry long distance. Unusual. Say what.

THE TADPOLE

The galaxy-rich deep field seen in the Hubble image of the 'Tadpole' colliding galaxies contains objects that are far larger than seen in the Hubble original. The large sizes swell into view when the Hubble original is very highly enhanced. Interracting galaxies can be seen for instance, whose interraction is not detected by visual inspection until the image is highly enhanced. See several examples next below.

A yoyo galaxy, already featured in a GIC page because of its shape, is one of the 4 subjects by Hubble's new ACS camera.

An earlier GIC Ugc10214 study (circ 2001) of the Tadpole revealed information confirmed by the Hubble release ACS photo, in that the super enhanced levels of the initial GIC study revealed characteristics to wit a very long antenna tail which initiated abruptly in seeming empty space, now seen clearly via the Hubble ACS view.

TEEMING DEEP SPACE BACKGROP

A great deal of subtle information was captured in the Hubble ACS view of the Tadpole colliding galaxies, not so much in the collision itself as in the miscellaneous backdrop of deep space, where myriads of galaxies can be seen in small or tiny form. These can enhance into quite a display, as demonstrated by the next images A on the left (original) and B on the right which has been enhanced for greater background revelation.

For example, here is a patch shown in original (left) and enhanced at right, in which galaxies appear not seen in the original, and those seen in the original swell to conciderable size compared to the original.

Single items clipped out and uniquely enhanced one by one can show even more. Next is an illustration.



Next is another illustration, in which a very faint object acquires arms and a large spiralling form. Click on the image to see what is believed to be the Hubble capture. Practically nothing is seen until strong enhancement is used via simple graphic editor image adjustors, to reveal the spiral forms. I used Paint Shop Pro, ver 2.14. No alteration other than adjustments were used, no computer generation or any artificial techniques were used in bringing forth this hidden information in the 'silent' medias of the Hubble image.

I had trouble in going back to the image and locating the above spiral galaxy's location. So to save you the ersatz of wasting time hunting around trying to find it, here it is, next image, located to the right of the upper region of the Tadpole, near a bright blue local Milky Way star.

Next is a galaxy with a profound long jet issuing from its center, with a hook in it. This is big time and should be big news, I probably will not see a single sentence of credit for spotting it.

Next is another illustration, in which a very faint spiral galaxy is seen on edge. In the original, hardly anything is seen. Click on the next image for the original, and compare.



Three more enhancing samples are next shown. The point is that any part of such an image by Hubble can be easily attenuated beyond the current Hubble ACS public release state of the art.

Each is as is, full size, so there are no clickthrough backup images.







Three chaotica realms have been shown in the image sequence immediately above. Professional's enhancing techniques should be able to show a lot more of the chaotica from earlier times.

The Hubble ACS was a stunning surprise to astronomers due to the weath of sundry information captured from the deep space backdrop, galaxies far distant in myriads are clearly seen.

Different ambiant background information is revealed by enhancing in each of the three basic filters, red, blue, green.

The Hubble ACS camera actually captured so much information that individual galaxy forms (which are small in the original) can be enhanced to show much larger forms and in some cases wholly different appearing objects after enhancement in a zoom.

THE CONE NEBULA

The Hubble 'Cone' nebula image enhances to show rich forms of extremely intricate dynamics where dark or dim only is seen in the Hubble original.

A brooding blood colored extension to the right at first seems to be a billow like the large bell of a tuba, but enhancement reveals it is more of a platform with a top and deep shank, and tongs hanging in shrouds down the side, reminiscent of shrouds hanging down the side of a closeup view of the Lagoon nebula in the stereo pair, next.



Focus the two images together by eyesight to see 3D. Stereo content is inherent in any mono image due to reasons discussed here 1 and here 2. More insight about how 3d can occur in mono image forms is here 3.

Click for a larger enhanced view.

More enhancement reveals that dimly glowing material is everywhere in the Cone nebula and that the dark areas are not dark because nothing is there, rather, a great wealth is there, further, what is there has very low luminosity in the frequencies explored by the Hubble ACS camera.



Pillars such as the Cone, have been extensively studied and collected for use in GIC. Pillars have been identified as having a unique structure which includes a protruding finger, and cavity opening (or horn) extending at right angles from their base. The above Cone image shows exactly this form. It is suggested such pillars may be the activities of a small black hole, in that they are so coherently similarly structured across a wide range of occurences in different pillars at different locations, including the best known Horsehead nebula.

The Cone nebula was extensively studied for GIC resulting in its own page dedicated to the Cone nebula and also its interesting setting in roiled dense matter which reveal that the Cone nebula's pillar has plowed through and under a matter flow and is just now coming back out into the open.

Next is where the Cone pillar ploughed into dense matter overhang, causing an explosive burst of hot new stars, the roiling trail to the upper right where the Cone pillar migrating (drifting along) to the South/west initially began matter disturbance in earnest.



In the next enhanced black and white from Dss, the Cone is at the bottom, and on a North/east vector above is a bright area of hot new star births showing where the Cone pillar has ploughed into overhanging matter. A long trail continuing from the North/east shows the incoming path of the dense Cone pillar which caused such roil and commotion.

Next is where the Cone pillar can be seen emerging back into the open, at the bottom of the picture.



ROTATING PILLARS

It is possible that pillars rotate. For instance, the nest of eggs shown next, may have been pointing nose foreward when the Cone pillar first plowed into the dense matter overhang, triggering a burst of new star formation at the point of entry in the dense matter overhang, and also triggering an explosive burst of new star formations at the head end of the pillar which was blunted by the impact when entering under the dense overhang, and has now rotated by perhaps about 170 degrees from before when the pillar first plowed nose first into the dense overhang.

The nest of eggs at the top of the Cone pillar was not seen with any clarity in earlier images, but has been starkly revealed as a breeding ground for mighty nuclear reactor stars.





EGG NEST

The blue curls spilling forth over the edge of the nest may in fact be glimpses of cyclonnics caused by powerful spinning magnetic fields inside the nest dragging matter in curved paths out and back into the nest.

Two Integral Arms issue between colliding galaxies Ngc 1738         INTEGRAL ARM An opportunity to showcase 'integral arms' and tympani resonators'. Integral arms are explored in depth here Tympani resonators are explored in depth here An opportunity has been taken - in light of these new ACS Hubble images - to showcase 'integral arms' and 'tympani resonators', both venues of extreme earnestness in GIC, the ACS Hubble image of the 'Tadpole' colliding galaxies offering an opportunity to wedge in sidecars, information about 'tympani's' and 'integrals', because of something spotted in the ACS Hubble image of the colliding galaxies Hubble image engineers have chosen to call the 'Tadpole', otherwise known as ARP 188, or also UGC 10214. TYMPANI RESONATOR Actually, the integral arm is associated with a tiny 'tympani resonator' hunkered in an extra active cubbyhole between two dissimilar bodies of galaxy matter. Next is a pullback in which the tiny resonator is seen in context of galactic structure, the tympani's presence reveals that this area of the galaxy has been involved in compression and compacting during the collision procedure. For instance the inner galaxy shaft to the left, has been blunted by punchout.

Very thin small ropes angling between one part and another in a galaxy seeth could be integral arms, assured indications strongly suggesting a collision element in that particular galaxy area. Next, in terms of the conglomerate at large, integrals in the right inner core area indicate that here, collision elements are at work.



The tiny appearing tympani is a super powerful sonic response to major temperature differentials, where compression is also found. Tympani's as a form of extreme temperature gradiants and compressions can even be seen on Earth. In motion footage of fierce smokes in fires on Earth, tympanic forms and integral ropes are seen momentarily formed then just as swiftly vanish.

Next, ropes of volcanic smoke streaming from fumeroles are being drawn back into the main temperature vortex.



Of significant physics, the Earth forms can feature ropes thin at one end issuing from a small portal, except, the flow of motion is in reverse, broader matter is being drawn into the narrow portal. This I have seen more often than once on TV news blasts and science specials. Picture a large genii being drawn back into the neck of a bottle. Watch for this vacuum cleaner effect on TV news or disaster specials.



Above, a really good integral arm shown slicing like a can opener passing through soft cheese in a galaxy sideswipe digging into another (diffuse elliptical) galaxy is prepared in enhanced albeit blurry images and seen in GIC here.

Specifically, obvious integral arms are seen in Ngc 1738 colliding galaxies, and another, a sawed off arm stump seen in Ngc 5236, is believed by GIC to be resulted from a buzzsawing part of another galaxy sailing by and cleaving off the arm, leaving the leaking stump.

Next, dobbler leaking from sawed off arm stump in Ngc 5236. I believe the leaking is a current form, which moves along the inside of arms something like a circulation fluid, in this case, because of the abrupt cleave-off, and good telescope camera, the inner 'current' juice can be seen dobbling out of the wound. More details are in the above Ngc 5236 link.

In this case the current seems to be an outflow, being quickly drawn back into the arm-thick by gravity. However at this stage I do not really know if the dobble is leaking out as an outflow, or is matter being drawn in like a genii being sucked into a bottle.

Another noticable demonstration of 'integral armness' is seen in the Fish colliding galaxies array, where integral arms seem to be linking in arcs between the two galaxy bodies comprising the collision.

However, an even better collision indicator is that the main apparent 'Tadpole' integral arm may in fact be a tympani resonator, a sure fire quarantee that collision process results have caused the tympani.

The tympani is very small, in terms of total galactic size, and the Hubble image, even though detailed, is not detailed enough to reveal if without question (or not) that this object is in fact a tympani resonator.

The best example known currently to GIC of a tympani formation resulting from galaxies in collision is a tympanic cluster nested in compression zones between the two galaxies comprising the collision activity of Ngc 4038 otherwise known as the Antenna colliding galaxies, where the cluster of tympanis have straight edges borrowed from six sided hexagram crystal outlines.

Not easily seen until you will yourself to view the particular images in stereo and wait in focus until an image becomes crystaline apparent, huge tympani cavities form basic fundamental, symmetric, constructions in the Tarantula nebula, as detailed here in GIC. Next is an example of a tympani cluster in the Tarantula. Its cleavages dominate the upper right portion.

A tiny tympani resides in a seething arm area of the Whirlpool galaxy.

Integral arms are taking shape between the 'Fish' colliders.



That finishes this, that the New Hubble ACS camera saw small far away details which are intrinsic to the understanding of galaxy collisions and collisional processes - to wit, tympani resonators, and integral arms.

SPECTACULAR PRISM ROSETTE

The Hubble 'Omega' nebula image contains a large prismatic plateau in it, whose presence can be better seen by slight adjustments in color densities, and all dark areas in the Hubble original are filled with low radiant sundry matter which can be clearly seen by suitable enhancements.







Since the new ACS Hubble image of the Omega nebula has a fabulous 'prism' in its display, opportunity is also gleefully taken by GIC to showcase the GIC 'prisms' link, with prismatic effects taking place in nebulas and even whole galaxies, both small, and large.

A probability perhaps remote is that the concentric rings seen comprising the prism particularly the upper left quadrant are glimpsed fragments of planetary orbital signatures, the orbital paths made by planetary objects orbiting through dusty materials making their paths visible and exciting the materials making the paths even more visible.

See the GIC summary evaluation page on the subject of orbital planetary signatures.


A possible magnetic cyclonnic spindle seems partially hidden in the ACS original. Enhancing reveals not much more, except, the tell-tale sharp edges of circle crescents are more clearly seen.





The first above view is increased in size and still contains valid details, showing that the Hubble ACS original is richly packed with finer details which can be expanded by enlarged zooms and enhancements.

Another possible home of magnetic cyclonnic spindles is suggested regards the ACS Cone nebula image.

The best known example in Astronomy (to date circ spring/2002) of a magnetic cyclonnic spindle is the driving forces result in the Crab Nebula.

THE ROYAL BELL



The royal 'bell' jutting out in the lower right in the Cone pillar is somewhat in accord in feel and kind, to the 'tuba bell' in the Cygnus Nebula, except the Cygnus 'bell' is very tenuous, very ephemeral in a space occupancy that has only lacy trills of residual sundry matters from centuries ago, whereas the Cone's 'bell' is very now, it is dense, it is in a very travel disturbed region of Milky Way space, and is made of dense materials extra solidly compacted by visiting compressions, yet accordingly this 'Cone' density as a significant manifestation is in the same image and likeness as the ultra light hooka smoke shapes of the Cygnus nebula's Royal Bell. Well, almost the same shape.

By the way, notice how the cyclonnic circular formations on the right in the Cygnus nebula image appear somewhat similar to forms created by powerful spinning stars such as pulsars whose stupendous magnetic fields rotating at high speeds with the star drag matter around in the star's stupendous magnetic forces creating fast changing cyclonnic swirls as for instance easily seen in the Crab nebula.

The Crab nebula's cyclonnic spindle is easily seen, mainly because the nebula itself is alone out in space, not enshrouded in drifting dense nebula fields per se the Crab nebula is alone out in space. What about similar shockwave and spinner nebulas whose location is deep inside dense surrounding matterials, in this situation only glimpses and clues are available seen in fragments of larger outer cyclonnics such as revealed in plenty in the Chandra image of the Crab as linked in the above paragraph.

We are looking at a phenomena of property in seeming ordinary humdrum nebula and energetic star creating galaxy actions, in which Royal bells (which look like the bells of tubas), are intrinsically formed by various sonic and recurrantly re-percussional forces, plus it seems, powerfully spinning magnetic fields.

What the ground floor cause, what the source, what the intrinsic information speaking to us in a loud and clear language is telling us, is yours, not us, not me, yours to determine.

CYCLONNIC SCYTHS CURL ALONG A CYGNUS LOOP EDGE

Let us take an opportunity to look at a phenomena in closer detail.

A closer look at the tip of a Cygnus Loop extension, shows several cyclonnics scything in curls at right angles over the lip. These are coherent dynamic artifacts, of a kind I have not yet seen addressed by astronomy pros.



One scyth in particular (at the left in the lineup) seems an actual arc, the others might just be wisps it is hard to say. The area containing the scyths has been enhanced in a highlighted window, it looks like a Hubble square frame patching error but it is my highlighting.

It took wildly out of the box efforts to reveal the cyclonnic curls - enhancements pushed well into the courageous zone and suddenly, there they were - in repect to the Hubble original which shows nothing whatever about the edge-curling cyclonnics.





The Cygnus cyclonnic curls are similar in kind to those pointed out in the Hubble ACS image of the Cone nebula. The Cygnus cyclonnics are either by one nucleonic driving motor, or several, I think at least two - cannot tell in not knowing enough about this revealing phenomena to be specific.

Another Royal Bell, if real, more crudely formed. I was caught by surprise by this, I did not know it was there until doing a final run through selecting 3D staging alternatives, and lo there it was, another Royal Bell in the Cygnus Loop, this one smaller and featured in reds and magentas. Next is the second Royal Bell, in a highlighted window.





The Cygnus Royal Bell is different, its cyclonnics are obvious, on a much grander scale.





Enhancements pushed in envelopes past the hissing wall, show major extensions of fluid flows south from the center of the Royal Bell, hardly a thing about this seen in the Hubble original. I do not know about you, but I find little goodies like this facinating, because I KNOW they reveal more than current theories allow, about dynamic forces operating in nebulas, plus super-explosion aftermaths.

WIND DIRECTIONS

May as well insert it here since I seem to have no other place to put it. Long drawn out strands of diaphonous matter in nebula involve winds which are blowing along in the general direction of the strands, in parallel.

A concequence of this curiousity is an impression that long lineal drifts such as is seen in trailing wisps at Cygnus involve winds which basically travel parallel to the stretching reaches of the wispies, whereas a honeycombed pattern such as seen in the Crab nebula (next) involve extra 'winds' which flow cross angles to the flow of motion of the slowly drifting wisps of cigarette smoke.

CIGARETTE SMOKE IS A GOOD MODEL

Watch cigarette smoke curling up from the glowing end of a lit cigarette and see the the wisps slowly taken in drifts by ambiant soft background air-flow currents in the room. You will see, watching, drift formations temporarily take on the look and feel of wisps in the Cygnus loop and other nebula, actually almost perfect reproductions in model forms, whereas subtle ambiant cross current background winds in the room temporarily reproduce honeycomb patterns more like those of the Crab.

For diaphonous, think of cigarette smoke from the glowing end of the cigarette drifting out into the air in extremely subtle wind currents and gradually stringing apart, still coherent until the last fade when the smoke drift suddenly dissovlves into nothing.

When more of the many different winds are blowing at right angles to the diaphonous drifts, honycomb/cavity patterns among long strings can develope, such as in the Crab nebula, next.

NGC 4388 BY SUBARU SHOWS DEEP SPACE TEXTURES BUT NO DETAILS

NGC 4388 BY SUBARU

Numerous concentric swirl patterns, and extensive areas of ribbing and lattices are seen, when the Subaru image is very highly enhanced to expose its dim medias. It is not clear what these patterns are or represent. It is clear that the image as a whole was quilted together with understandably imperfect seams.
A most unusual dot has turned up in the enhancement for GIC by myself, the dot is unlike anything ever seen in other galaxy images.

Next is a piece of the ribbed and swirling backdrop at full resolution.



Next is the full Subaru galaxy picture, reduced to small size.

Click on image for enhanced full size (warning - very large image)

The red gas affluences trail off at the upper left. The poofs of cloud themselves are moving through an area that seems very turbulent in dim, silent, materials, and wide bands can be seen in outline beyond the galaxy's circumpherence, indicating the galaxy is moving away from us into rearspace gently toward the right, leaving behind recurrent poofs which are travelling at a slower velocity than is the galaxy.

This interpretation is in reverse to astronomy conjectures which assume the spiradic poofs are moving forth at stupendous velocities on a slanted vector which has no immediate explanation. The reverse view is the galaxy itself is leaving behind its ejectas in a galactic contrail, as the galaxy travels away from us into deeper space.



A serious question is raised as to whether a red ray, seen in a straight beam at a slight declension above the core, and below, is a laser or image artifact. All of the Subaru's image faults are vertical from patching, but this red ray is on its own at an entirely different angle, and radiates in two opposed directions from the core center. Is it an artifact of the Subaru telescope, or an artifact of the galaxy?

Laser rays have been studied by GIC (myself) with an opinion that at least some are real, with the proviso that most rays seen are actually blasers where a ray excites matter through which it passes and the excitement is what is visible, not the actual ray itself.

An anomalous blue ray has been seen by GIC investigations to be firing from the Ngc 4151 galaxy, but, again, there is a question as to whether that ray is a telescope artifact, or an actual coherent beam from the center of the galaxy.

MUSHROOM CAPPED PLUMES

Notice something very important, that some of the ejecta is leaving the galaxy in plumes that continue to hold shape. In the next view, three plumes with mushroom caps have been marked in highlighted red windows.





It is clear that the red fronds are from repeated intermittant discharges, and not a continuous stream now being torn apart by miscellaneous tensions in the space into which the plumes are emitting. Each blast is at a distinct different alignment, and energy level, indicating speedy wobbling rotation of the source at galaxy center.

I could say (the same as everyone else) that the source has to be a stupendous black hole at the galaxy core, perhaps a million or a hundred millions times the mass of the Sun. But I do not really know this, so am not going to say anything about the core. (Managed to get in the words 'wobbling rotation' at the core, please notice).

The next view shows what seem to be vertical collars or rings at and beyond the right end, in blue tones, where a drift of extended dim matter continues forward to the right. If the vertical blue collar is real, it is a classic tell-tale of an earlier strongly percussive nose-end collision.

Gic's famous collection of enhanced colliding galaxy images is here, look amongst these images for tell-tales of collisions, some are tell-tales you have not seen before.



The stereo is not very good in this image, perhaps this is due to image reprocessing techniques used by Subaru image engineers to fuss and muss the digitals into a rendered picture as opposed to simply working with digitals as intrinsically captured with stereo content mostly intact.

A problem in highly enhancing any image is that intrinsic subtle details are lost to whitening, particularly in the key important central areas of an image. The plus side is holdings comprising huge stores of hidden content are revealed, making theoretical projections based on the more dim less introspect original images foolhardy.

EDITOR'S CHOICE

If, in all of the above, you have had trouble distinguishing between me, Galaxies in Chaos (GIC), and visitastronomy.com, it is not without reason. I am me, the author of all text and all enhanced images shown in GIC. I use the spy code term GIC to represent Galaxies in Chaos, which also represents myself, me, in all my glory. I hope this quick explanation helps.

One human on a huge project can be very confusing, you have to agree. Work with me on this. I never lie.

Me in the midst of Hubble ACS is not me intending to line myself up alongside the shoulders of giants, it is simply me trying to humbly explain myself in the midst of such stupendous ongoing endevours by astronomers royal as who originally produced such useful images, which I was able to have fun with indulging in a hobby which became in part ways an obession, to which I have been at work for now, six and one/half years on astronomy images, and hope, with this page named Hubble1.htm featuring ACS images to reach a finality, hoping to finally retire from the obsessive/compulsive grip on my brain and finally retire to live and enjoy some life unfettered as I inexorably glide over the edge into geriatric manhood with white hair and missing teeth, and ever enfeebling short term memory, and even more of all of those new problems. Ahoya. (Ahoya means as I am now, not as I was).

I expect Hubble ACS image to reveal such new and valuable worth that I will simple not be able to keep up with it. I was almost expecting this in the new ACS images released first time out, but, as you can see, in the above images throughout this page, that ACS revealed more of the same, only much better, rather than revealing information that was entirely new. Which is why I had no choice but to do this page.

The choice of words 'Editor's Choice' is not without background. In an earlier incarnation circ 1995 a software associate and myself contrived - just the two of us working out of a rented two story house - to achieve Editor's Choice for anti-virus software for that two-year period. World's best, reported in a PC Magazine European edition published in Italian.

Editor's Choice in PC Magazine is no small potatoes. It means we excelled against all of the biggest guns in Anti-virus software at that time. Got the credit, but didn't make money at that time, not big enough to get the big site licenses for anti virus. Just the two of us - holy cow how can they do it - mediocre is better if more money is behind it and we did not have the lucre so did it we did anyway. Big money is the only way that can be better seems to be a philosophy pervading the whole of modern life, and in no less way, big money validity seems to pervade modern astronomy to this day.

I did the whole of the astronomy project, include the learning curve, on an income concidered less than half of the poverty line for a single individual in Canada. In other words, twice a pauper, borderline welfare income. Did it I did anyway despite the lack of momey people thought would be necessary to do any such project. Take heart you poor and ungreedy who have independent ideas, where there is a will, there is always a way. This is mentioned only to predicate that I can, when suitably motivated, produce world class output.
