[GGGunitNextLevel]

I want this telescope in my backyard xD

[menges70]

Did Herschel already send any pictures?

[alpacks]

@menges70 yes and a lot ... follow science actuality : in france we have a lot of pictures now from herschel in a lot science media on web ...

But herschel is not "hubble" is not for beauty pictures : all pictures of herschel can be released are in fail color because he observed in infra red ...

Successful launch this afternoon! :D. We're starting the commissioning phase in ten days. Exciting.

"The European Space Agency is currently developing Herschel, the largest space telescope ever launched."

First, Herschel Space Observatory hasn't launched yet. Second, it wont be the biggest but for a couple of years. 2009-2013, then the much bigger James Webb Space Telescope will be launched.

there is not just 1 universe, there is a multiverse,with this theory you can explain a large number of phenonoma that present day science can't..but what would i know im only ...an Electrician.

[gun844]

provet your theory.

[springbox1982]

its well known theory in the science world he does not have to prove it, it is not his theory. It explains that the big bang is not just one event, but there are millions of big bangs. It is up to you to research it not someone to tell you because you are too lazy to researcvh it yourself.

He doesn't need to prove it because it's well know theory? What kind of stupid comment is that? Then let those who came up with that theory prove it, they can't...sigh

This could be the peak of civilization. Enjoy the discoveries we are making now! In our lifetimes we will launch telescopes that have unheard of capabities. I am particularly impressed with the possibility of an x-ray interferometer, which might happen in our lifetimes.

Well. Even if you born in 100 years, You would be saying the same thing... there is so much to see on this universe, so much mistery. that's awesome.

[EuropeanPatriot]

The European Union is a world leader in Astronomy because of Herschel.

I was born too soon, way too soon. I want to see the universe. I want to know more about the universe. I want to live in a time when the knowledge we have seems primitive at best. I'll be needing more beer now...
