    Fresh Science Award

    I was jointly awarded the 1999 Fresh Science prize for my presentation of this work: click here for details.

    Pictures

    I first show colour pictures of the pink black holes (and of some blue and yellow ones for comparison. I then include a couple of pictures of me.

    The following pictures are true-color: ie. they are what the human eye would see were it one thousand million times more sensitive. Unfortunately, the pink colour is quite subtle and doesn't always come out when printing these pictures. If you are having this trouble, I've included pictures below with stretched colour maps, to emphasise the colours: these should print better.
