"The variety of galaxies we see is amazing. In time these Hubble data
could turn out to be the double helix of galaxy formation. We are
clearly seeing some of the galaxies as they were more than ten billion
years ago, in the process of formation," said Robert Williams, Director
of the Space Telescope Science Institute Baltimore, Maryland. "As the
images have come up on our screens, we have not been able to keep from
wondering if we might somehow be seeing our own origins in all of this."</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7D0FD885-99B6-4D7F-B523-CF7BCDC9140F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
