I used to work for the organization that ran the operations of the hubble, the space telescope science institute.. up on the john hopkins campus

I was just an intern in college... they had some massive program that would run simulations (with user parameters) that would similate how light would travel in certain situations in certain directions for kazillions of miles...

My job was to write something for the website that would allow ppl to take their 10MB datafile dumps of this info and create graphs using perl....

Was some weird shit... Every week they'd put a new 12x8 inch photo of a recent hubble shot and give them out to all the employees....

Plus i got to see the control center that sent all the commands to the telescope underground... the room was smaller than I expected, but looked pretty cool... like a mini version of the nasa control center :P

:rofl: If I'm not mistaken, they don't take big chunks out of photos. The photos are instead composites of a bunch of smaller photos.

In fact, if I'm not misremembering my astrophysics course, the characteristic upper right-hand missing chunk in Hubble photos is due to funding issues during the construction of the Hubble -- they ran out of money and couldn't afford the CCDs.

Or the cut-out sections are where the ET bases are, and we couldn't release the pictures w/out revealing our massive cover-up.

Who told you this? It's nonsense, of course.

Please PM your address and we'll send some agent-- I mean, "astronomers" to talk this over with you.
