It's a fantastic image.

I would be grateful if someone could tell me what the ERO stands for in the credit :?:. The page brought up through the Hubble SM4 ERO Team credit link does not seem to state what ERO is and I could not find it in some pages brought up through links in the credit linked page.

Thanks neufer. That definition of ERO I would not have guessed! I did try to find out but I gave up after getting nothing definite in the NASA website. I probably need to improve my searching! I was though very surprised that the webpage brought up through the credit link did not sem to have a definition of ERO.

I see Art has already answered your question, but I found the answer at

Thanks bystander. That webpage was obviously one that I did not see! :)
