Dear Mr. Scott Logan,

I am a science student of the University of Hong Kong .
I am writing a journal article which the topic is Nebula for my English lesson coursework.
I saw a photo of the Ring Nebula on your website above.
I am very interested in this photo and want to put it in my article.
As I know this photo may have copyright, I want to ask you whether I can put it in my article and publish it.
If you do not have the rights, where can I ask for permission?
It will be good if I can and my article can be more attractive and satisfactory.
Thank you.

Regards,
Raymond Mak

I noticed something as well relating to this on another blog.Incredibly, your view on it’s diametrically opposite as to the I read previously. I’m still trying to puzzle out over the conflicting points of view, but Im tipped heavily toward yours. And in any case, thats what is so outstanding about modern democracy and the marketplace of ideas onthe internet.
