NASA Goddard Space Flight Centre

I'm grinning from ear to ear.
Their new display is up in their Visitors Centre in Maryland, Washington DC, and I'm as proud as anything to see my own work up there too.
The images are being used to show the difference between the IR images produced by the Spitzer Space Telescope and visible light images of the exact same region.
To get the recognition from NASA, well, it just doesn't get any better than this.
I'll get a chance to see it for myself when I head over to the US in May/June this year.
Many thanks to Bill Buckingham for giving me this opportunity.

Thank you for sharing this exciting news Jeanette, you must be very proud of your achievement and rightly so.

You’ve really put Kilcoy on the map now – keep an eye out for the influx of hordes of visiting American amateur astronomers, in search of the beautiful skies down having feasted on your images!

Cheers

Dennis
