Well done, Dennis! Thanks for the interesting post as well! It reminds me of a quote from a lecture by Hubble: "With increasing distance our knowledge fades and fades rapidly. Eventually we reach the dim boundary, the utmost limits of our telescope. There we measure shadows, and we search among ghostly errors of measurements for landmarks that are scarcely more substantial".
