This was going be my observations about what is shown when you click on E@H graphics window. Unfortunately, I had NO IDEA what I was looking at. Something about the colored L's having to do with the location of observatories on the actual planet Earth and placing the stars on the imaginary Earth at locations corresponding to whatever part they were directly above(not sure about this second part).

I won't be clicking on the E@H thingie to find the Big Dipper anytime soon.:rolleyes:

Would anybody care to post links to the science behind this gravity wave research? It'd be nice to know what the heck my computer's doing when it's processing a unit.
