Thanks, Brian, Christine, Bob, Stan, Dan, Gerrit, Jack, and Sir Cotty! I should say if you have the chance to go to the Adler, be sure to catch the shows they offer. Akira and I saw "Welcome to the Universe" and "Cosmic Wonder". Both were excellent. They really make you feel like you're in a space ship (at times I had butterflies in my tummy), the facts related are interesting, and they blended the Hubble photographs creatively into their virtual universe.
I liked them so much I think I'll go back with Darrel to watch again and see the others.
