Rem Stone and Bill Sheehan discuss the astonishing
correspondence between a Hubble Space Telescope image and a plate of
cookies. Tony Misch attempts to examine one of the edible marvels
more closely through a Prosecco cork. The cork, incidentally, was
popped in celebration of E. E. Barnard's discovery
of Jupiter's 5th moon, Amalthea, with this telescope, on this night
(September 9th), 111 years earlier. |
