I heard from the guy in Californa who can produce a print of the photo that I blogged about yesterday. To make a long story short, the computer file (the photo was made in a digital format) is apparently huge. When we were discussing formats and how large I wanted the print, he told he that this file in a musuem quality print would be 90 feet long! I don't think I want something that big, though you have to admit that would be awfully cool! After he checked out the format and doing whatever he does on the computer, he told me that the optimum size for what I wanted to do with it (I want to hang it in my office at work) would be 50" x 16". I thought this was much more reasonable. He stated he will print it on archivable paper and will leave enough white edging that it can be framed or just hung as it. I am excited! I will be ordering it soon.
If you wish to see the website that I look at each day, including this photo (May 8, 2007), go to Google and enter Astronomy Picture of the Day Archive. The site has been up since 1995 and they have an archive that goes back to the start of the site. It is run by people who have connections to NASA so they have a wealth of photos to choose from. Save this to your favorites as I guarantee it will become one of your favorites, also.

That is so cool! Congrats on a great find. It is a wonderful thing when you find a treasure like that and can look at it all the time. God and His majesty!
I'm really excited for you. It's always a great feeling to know something you've thought of and waited on is finally happening!
As I read your blogs I can hear Caleb's head going "cha-ching!"
