    This is the Cone Nebula. The part pictured here is 2.5 light years in length (the equivalent of 23 million return trips to the Moon).
    Ahhhh, the Hubble Telescope. Yet another testament to the power of Socialism over Capitalism.

        Are you inviting ERCougar to pitch a tent with you?

            This is a photograph? It looks like an oil painting on the cover of a 60s-era sci-fi novel.
            Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                Hubble gets amazing photos.

                    No doubt, but with this one, I feel like I can almost see the brush strokes! I guess its that this one is a little more "fuzzy" than some others. Add to that the nature of the subject and our inexperience with it, and I'm probably just not used to seeing it.
