What rubbish. You speak as though you were there at Harvard U.
doing the testing yourself. How would you know how the Astrocomb
works? Even if you are the slightest bit aware of how this device
works, you would not be making bald statements like this.

This is in no way indicative of the knowledge that is being put
to use in the Harvard facility. This only shows that you have
an interest in technology that YOU think will assimilate the
research being done at Harvard.

I see the invalidation complex you are building. By trivializing
the technology into your very own personalized "nook and cranny"
everything else becomes a moot point, except that you're missing
some key ingredients - like triangulization of data between obser-
vatories, as well as the increased RF and infared sensitivity of
the detectors used in each. Interstellar dust has no influence on
radio wave detection because the radio waves used for detecting
interstellar, earth-size planets are far longer than the size of
the dust particles. This is especially true for infared detectors,
since the extinction curve rises as the wavelength approaches
around 2200 angstroms, or about 4.8 cps.  The data correlates quite
effectively when the readings are synchronized between observation
points - just like satellite communication, except that the
'satellite' in this case, is the location of abberated infared
starlight from an extremely starry background - much like how the
heavens appear away from city or urban lit areas. With modern
observation techniques, the night sky is a much, much brighter
place than even Galileo ever dreamed it would be.

A point squeaks by.

You are now invalidating the use of earth-based observation in lieu
of space based, no doubt. Unfortunately, you are wrong in this regard
because this is precisely why this research is being done - due to the
inefficiency and/or observational itinerary of the Hubble Telescope
to focus on where the action is - extraterrestrial, habitable,
earth-like planetary systems - which is the solution to establishing
space based outposts in more desirable locations than the barren
wastelands of the Moon or Mars. My feeling is that these places
are mere distractions - miniature HELLS that continue to occupy
the minds of lost souls, at the expense of those who wish to subvert
and enslave most of earth in a materialist purgatory - paradise for
the dominionists who can control the means by which wealth is
attained, by legislating how wealth becomes EARNED through taxation
and the granting of entitlements with futher earmarks, riders, and
pork-barrel legislations. This is blatantly abusive on human
dignity and survivability for the next decade and beyond.

Simply put, ground based observatories today can correct their
imagery using an infared photometer of indium antimonide and image
deconvolution, with the ability to resolve to 0.1 arc second - which
is only one half as sharp as Hubble space Telescope @ 0.05 arc sec.
The workable range might be no further than about 300 LY distance,
but who needs to start a survey THAT wide, if we're only interested
in the ones predicted to be in closer proximity (~70 LY average hab-
itable planetary radius, by the Royal British Interplanetary Society)?

All the devolutionists can stuff that into their pipe, and smoke it
too if they want, because they're never getting beyond the seventh
heaven anyway, described by Enoch in The Book of Enoch, Chapter 20:

1 And those two men lifted me up thence on to the seventh heaven,
and I saw there a very great light, and fiery troops of great
archangels (2), incorporeal forces, and dominions, orders and
governments, cherubim and seraphim, thrones and many-eyed ones,
nine regiments, the Ioanit stations of light, and I became afraid,
and began to tremble with great terror, and those men took me, and
led me after them, and said to me:

The "Ioanit stations of light" refer to orbital positions around
the earth, such as the space station, satelites, etc., giving rise
to the idea that orbit is where mass manipulation and control
ends, and where heaven begins:

2 Have courage, Enoch, do not fear, and showed me the Lord from afar,
sitting on His very high throne. For what is there on the tenth
heaven, since the Lord dwells there?

An 8th-century English theologian, The Venerable Bede, wrote that
"the seven heavens are (1) the Air, (2) the Ether, (3) Olympus, (4)
the
Element of Fire, (5) the Firmament, (6) the Angelical Region, and
(7) the Realm of the Trinity."

Lucifer rises to a fortiori; because of the invariability of the
sidreal revolutions of the heavens, mostly planetary, in attempting
to regulate the harmony of the world from the seventh heaven;  All
this being done in the name of the Great Manipulator of Creation,
using systems of numbers to symbolize astrological events, rather
than having YHWH speak these things into existance.

WRONG. You've tried to build a case for space based observation, and
then go on to say that the current earth based observation will not
work because "the broadening of spectral lines does not vary with
time" - but it DOES - with EARTH BASED OBSERVATION.

You've attempted to use your own semantics in redefining what
observation should be when you're not even giving creedence to the
extremely bright truth in all of this - that earth-like planets
are in the process of being discovered NOW, and this event will be
the beginning of a vast rush to the stars - G2V perhaps - perhaps
not G2V. In any event, the technology for locating earth-size
planets is here to stay as well as advanced ground-based RF and
infared technology.
