I get you. BTW, the scientists add color for analysis purposes also. I suspect that some of those turn out to be quite pretty in and of themselves and that's where they got the idea of the artistic ones Probably this was pre-hubble, come to think of it--there are mathematicians who specialize in artistic scientific/mathemtatical images so its become an artform in its own right. http://www.georgehart.com/index.html To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
