Might be good to correct it before too many outreach posters are made!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-996609237882090723.post-6439295161487453302013-05-18T17:46:21.236-04:002013-05-18T17:46:21.236-04:00Rhys, do you know that the zoomit links now are no...Rhys, do you know that the zoomit links now are not available?<br />MargaritaMargaritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264310483674735400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-996609237882090723.post-68393832591210185462013-05-06T11:07:09.616-04:002013-05-06T11:07:09.616-04:00Están geniales estas imágenes, me encantan.

Sorry I wasn't able to get a higher-res version done yet, but I'm glad it printed out well as a poster.<br /><br />Different shades of black are always a hazard. I try and make the image work on my own monitor, which is good enough for the standards of the poster print we have here (but images never come out quite as nice as the electronic versions).<br /><br />Good luck with your defence !

Just to let you know, the preview they made showed that there were different shades of black for the background of each image (so you could see where the images were pasted on the black background). The guy at Kinko's said he'd work on it and get it done by morning. Whatever he did, the final poster was *amazing*!! It looked just like on the screen (no variations in black). So just wanted to let you know that the local Kinko's guy was able to make it work as a poster (I did 22 inches square since that's a good size for me to take to schools for my galaxy outreach project). Anyway, it's totally fabulous and I have great pictures of it in action with cute kids, too. :) And I totally bragged about the image to all of my coworkers and told them about your blog. Thanks so much! I'll also be using this image in my defense talk on Tuesday.

I love learning and talking about astronomy but sometimes, due to my busy schedule, I don’t have time to read thick books about them. This simple infographic will definitely be very helpful for me. :)Darryl Tayhttp://www.endlessrise.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-996609237882090723.post-61481114530987375892013-04-04T21:01:29.586-04:002013-04-04T21:01:29.586-04:00Not yet, I'd like to but I don't have time...Not yet, I'd like to but I don't have time to do it right now - maybe on the weekend.Rhysyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13219113442790412792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-996609237882090723.post-45126436315106081802013-04-04T13:40:27.321-04:002013-04-04T13:40:27.321-04:00Thanks a bunch for doing this, Rhys!

Zoomable version on your guest post Asterisk. I have copied it to my diddy little Android Nexus (hope that OK?) because zooming is a bit difficult with it and its my usual machine at present. <br />It was lovely seeing you drop in on Asterisk - why don't you come again? You are far more august and PROfessional than (most) of us, but if you didn't mind that we would make you so welcome! It's a really good group, who both love astronomy and contains people with a wicked sense of humour...<br />Again - many, many thanks, <br />And I'll visit again<br />MargaritaMargaritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264310483674735400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-996609237882090723.post-44611182820944057782013-04-04T13:16:07.086-04:002013-04-04T13:16:07.086-04:00I seriously need to use this next week as a poster...I seriously need to use this next week as a poster for an outreach event!!!

I added zoomable versions of the images to the article :<br /><br />http://zoom.it/ptPq<br />http://zoom.it/qbvd<br /><br />When I get round to making print versions I'll probably tweak the text size a little.<br /><br />APOD !

This is fantastically useful! Thank you ...Dear Rhys<br />This is fantastically useful! Thank you SO much.<br />Do you have a larger size image available of the comparison chart - I'm finding the captions just a little bit difficult to read, even with the chart enlarged as much as possible. It must be admitted that this is probably because of 64-year-old eyes and the need for new specs...<br />By the way, along with being in Universe Today, your chart is posted in the 'Starship Asterisk' forum - Apod's forum - at http://asterisk.apod.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=31104<br /><br />Best wishes<br />MargaritaMargaritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264310483674735400noreply@blogger.com
