About this image

Fortunately Iris missed The Stargate and was not sent off to a distant part of the Universe. She is still with us. Local Spanish Time is shown. View the adjacent negative image for details. Compare this with the image I posted yesterday of Iris's position. To see an animation showing the movement since yesterday go to:
