Information about photos:

There are five photos of Piers Sellers here, all from May 8, 2007 when Queen Elizabeth and 
Price Philip visited Goddard. These photos were taken in the Rocket Garden of the
Visitors Center.  Of these #5251 is clearly the best photo of Piers. The others show him
with other British-born and Australian-born astronauts. (The EXIF metadata has captions
with their names.) Image #5205 shows the Queen, Michael Griffin (NASA Adminsitrator),
Prince Philip, and Ed Weiler (Goddard Center Director).

	on Feb 9, 2017:

	"It is the Fall of 1988 (the 2nd of 3 flights to Alice Springs Australia
	to get the SuperNova 1987A gamma-ray spectra (and Galactic Center spectra as well)).
	This pic would have been around the middle of Sept 1988."
