The static image is generated server side, using Jmol if a JVM is installed on 
the server or Tachyon if the JVM is unavailable.  The Jmol image is more 
complete, so we should recommend that a JVM be installed on the server,but it 
is not necessary.

Note, that if you are on a device that does not have Java, you now at least get 
an static image.  My next move is to replace the static image with the option 
for a spinning .gif.  However, let's get this in.
