  2. Excellent! You've got some of our favorites and others we've never heard of. This should keep us busy for awhile. Thank you, Helen! Anyone else have a favorite video we shouldn't miss?

  3. Hi Mark - Well, I just thinking of you the other day..and today, there was your message in my email box. Goodness, goodness! With the exception of sending heartfelt wishes to you and your family, I thought what would be an interesting distraction for you. And then I saw your astronaut and thought you might enjoy my favorite website of the Hubble Images http://heritage.stsci.edu/... lovely, beautiful images of stars and space. I hope this brings you some distraction and peaceful thoughts during this time.
    I will be thinking of you and your family.
    Much love and peace,
    Barbara
