The image is the same as the 30 days to launch photo on the main page, except it has numbers written on or near people and it has been brightened to let you see those numbers more clearly. The numbers correspond to names of people given in the table below the image. Below the table are identifications for some of the people who were not identified initially and numbered.

This image with numbers and the handwritten original list of names was shared by Zolt Levay.

Here are some identifications for people without numbers. The directions are given as seen by you on the photo, not according to the people looking out.

Zolt Levay - look for his name behind Doug McElroy (#91)

Identified by Bill Hathaway:

• Eyes, nose, & hair to left behind Andy Lubenow (#11) - Bill Hathaway

Identified by Chris Anderson:

• Between Sarah Stevens Rayburn (#5) and Mike Bielefeld (#175) - Chris Anderson
  Also identified by Jack MacConnell. Now listing Chris Anderson as #50.

Identified by Al Holm:

• Man with tie to the left of Bill Workman (#136) - Dave Rocco, science mission manager
• Man with tie behind Joe Pollizzi (#45) - Bob Shaddock, TRW software developer

Identified by Jack MacConnell:

• Man below and right of Dustin Manning (#137) - Gary Anderson, science mission manager
• Man between Jesse Doggett (#133) and Karen Lezon (#110) - Phil Goldstein, software developer

Identified by Ray Lucas:

• Guy in blue shirt in front of Jan Paxton (#118) - Dennis Burgarella (ESA)
• Woman with long brown hair between Denis and Ed Smith (#8) - Cindy (Cynthia) Taylor, FOS Data Analyst
• Guy with beard and glasses behind Sarah Stevens-Rayburn (#5) - Mark Johnston
• Bearded guy in horizontally-striped blue-green shirt right of Stephane Charlot (#20)) - Pawel Artymowicz, Polish collaborator of Steve Lubow
• Curly-haired woman immediately in front of Pawel Artymowicz - Sylvie Beaulieu, Science Data Analyst from Quebec Province.
• Woman with long dark hair and light shirt between Rick White (#37) and Sylvie Beaulieu - Amy Mossman, another Science Data Analyst
• Guy in black jacket between Duccio Macchetto (#19) and Perry Greenfield (#135) - Paolo Padovani, Meg Urry’s Italian postdoc who was studying AGN with her.
• Guy in light blue-green T-shirt behind Mike Shara (#81) and right of Brad Whitmore (#115) - maybe Jeff Sponsler.
• Guy immediately to the left of Merle Reinhart (#54) and next to the pillar - maybe Amit Sen.
• Guy with glasses between Tom McGlynn (#99) and Don Chance (#65) - maybe Keith Ashman (Was a British postdoc studying extragalactic globular clusters, and later was - maybe still is? - on the faculty at University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS.)

The guy on the steps on the left behind Shon Vick (#128) and in front of Mike Meakes (#134) was a French optical scientist of some sort, but I don’t recall his name at the moment. He may have worked with Pierre Bely, maybe?

I’m really not sure - hard to see in enough detail... it may look somewhat like I remember him or maybe not all that much, but the guy behind Jeff Hayes (#163) may possibly be Artashes Petrosian (well-known for Petrosian radii of galaxies), Armenian astronomer from Byurakan Observatory. I think he may have been visiting Brian McLean at the time? Brian may know if that is him...

The blond-haired woman whose eyes and hair are visible between Lee Hurt (#43) and Jay Travisano (#109) is still a programmer at STScI, and I think her name may be Christine Heller. And I think she was and is still married to another programmer still at STScI.
