Pretty neat stuff eh Joe? If nothing else ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) is open for business. Did you see this story on KSL dot com? http://www.ksl.com/index.php?sid=17546079&nid=1012 We are famous!!!!

Absolutely astonishing, Steve. I had never even heard of ALMA (sp?) before. I wonder how it stacks up against the James Webb. Thanks, Joe

Here are some Awsome first light photos. I thought I would share in case you have not seen them http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2044840/Worlds-complex-telesc...

You've probably already checked this out, but the James Webb is infrared and ALMA is radio waves. Each unique and separate --- at the moment. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Bauman" <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> To: "Utah Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 5, 2011 9:08:29 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] First Light Pictures Absolutely astonishing, Steve.  I had never even heard of ALMA (sp?) before.

Different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, Joe. They aren't really in any kind of competition. Webb is IR, this is sub-millimeter (radio). They certainly could supply complementary data sets, however.

At 26 seconds in if you pause it and then look when it clears, you can see two eyes, a nose, an open mouth, even an ear. It kinda of reminded me of Odo from Star Trek Deep Space Nine. An another note, a cartoon from Bad Astronomy on how they get funding for NASA missions. http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2389 On Wed, Oct 5, 2011 at 9:34 PM, <jcarman6@q.com> wrote:

The radio universe made visible. First light was incredible. I watched the video. The time lapse was incredibly smooth. I was thrilled with the time lapse of the large and small magallanic clouds. That was so impressive. Thanks for posting Steve.
