Two trips to Europe, teaching in Austin, Evolution of Galaxies project at Caltech.
“I’ve just got back from a marvellous week at Caltech. Did lots of useful work, and was showered with invitations from old friends, with astronomical data, and inspiration for another year of Texas. My big project there on the evolution of galaxies, with Jim Gunn, is going to take years more yet, but the answer should be a most significant contribution to cosmology. It’s a great satisfaction to me now to go back there among all those famous astronomers and be greeted like and treated as a respected colleague.”
Located 10 million light-years away in the southern constellation Sculptor, the Silver Dollar galaxy, or NGC 253, is one of the brightest spiral galaxies in the night sky. www.nasaimages.org
