Inspirational Thoughts: Let your passion show!

     Hubble image 300 million light years away as seen through an area the size of the eye of a dime!    

I recently met an engineer working on a new telescope that NASA is developing along with Canadian and European space agencies to replace the Hubble Space Telescope in a few years.  This new NASA Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) will be positioned around 1 million miles from earth in a halo orbit at the L-2 libration point, a gravitational balance point far beyond the moon's orbit.  This will allow the telescope to focus on very small points in space with open shutters for up to 5 days capturing the light and focusing on those images.  

The engineer was very excited about his job and got me excited too with his passion in describing the new technology that will be employed.  He told me about one image that Hubble collected that shows several galaxies that he liked that was seen from a point in space equivalent to looking through a hole in the eye of president Franklin D. Roosevelt on a dime held at arms length.  I think the image above is what he was talking about known as the "Galaxy Cluster" that I found on the Internet.  

The point of this is two fold:  to educate you on this that I learned from this engineer AND to help all of us see that life is too short and we all need to be working in fields that can get us excited too.  With this excitement, we too will show our passion and this will help others feel it too.
