On August 11th, my astronomy group Skyscrapers Inc., has as our monthly speaker Nobel Laureate Dr. Robert Wilson, co-discoverer of the 3 degree cosmic backround radiation, thought to have originated in the early stages of the expansion of the universe. I am looking for a source to buy the photo of him and Arno Penzias standing in front of their horn shaped antenna which was used for the discovery ... does anyone know of a dealer for this type of material?

Thanks,
Dan www.theskyscrapers.org

Dan,

Go here: http://pro.corbis.com/default.aspx

Select search all and type +wilson +penzias

Are these the images you need? I guess they won't be cheap, though...

Did you get the message that I received your letter? E-mailing doesn't seem to work, for some reason.

Best,
Ed Hengeveld

Here you go Dan, some nice pics of Wilson here. $20 for an 8x10 I think.

Hi Ed,

I did get your email forwarded to me and sent you two followups that I guess you haven't received ... not sure why.

Adam and Ed, many thanks for your help! I look forward to meeting Dr. Wilson and getting the famous photo of him and Penzias in front of the "horn" signed.

Best,
Dan
