TITLE: "Sources of Light," oil
The Space Shuttle Atlantis carrying the Gamma Ray Observatory
(GRO) sits on the launch pad as the image of Albert Einstein
is symbolically reflected in the night sky. Einstein's Theories
of Relativity laid the foundation for understanding astrophysical
processes and cosmic forces. Many of the questions that Einstein
posed regarding the distribution of light, energy, and matter
will be answered by information collected by GRO. Einstein's
genius, the glowing Shuttle on the pad, the bright cosmic
matter in the background represent "sources of light" which
will help us to better comprehend our universe. (NASA Art
