Well, what happened was that around midnight, New York time, I got a call from the group in Rome who said we have a burst, we need a telescope. So I called our MDM Observatory in Arizona, where one of my colleagues, John Thorstenson, was on the telescope with a camera that could take a picture of just this piece of the sky. The first image you saw was the night of the burst, itself, about eight or ten hours after the explosion. And the second was taken the next night. You see, all the other stars and galaxies in that image are unchanged because most things change very slowly in astronomy.
Stars live for billions of years.
But that one you have a circle around faded by a factor of five from one night to the next. And that's when we knew we had pinpointed the location of the burst. And further evidence of where this burst came from was provided through the Hubble Telescope. We have some images from that. And tell us what we're looking at, these color images here.
