mudmanc4 Posted January 20, 2007 CID Share Posted January 20, 2007 I love to see these, it really puts a perspective on things. Great thread Coknuck. Makes you wonder why we fight so , amongst each other. Damn , It would be awesome to explore out there instead of worrying about the crap we do. Nice.

coknuck Posted January 20, 2007 Author CID Share Posted January 20, 2007 I didn't know how to put these between the pictures. Hubble telescope's top ten greatest space photographs > The Sombrero Galaxy - 28 million light years from Earth - was >voted best picture taken by the Hubble telescope. The dimensions of the >galaxy, officially called M104, are as spectacular as its appearance. It >has 800 billion suns and is 50,000 light years across. > The Ant Nebula, a cloud of dust and gas whose technical name is >Mz3, resembles an ant when observed using ground-based telescopes. The >nebula lies within our galaxy between 3,000 and 6,000 light years from >Earth. > In third place is Nebula NGC 2392, called Eskimo because it >looks like a face surrounded by a furry hood. The hood is, in fact, a ring >of comet-shaped objects flying away from a dying star. Eskimo is 5,000 >light years from Earth. > At four is the Cat's Eye Nebula, which looks like the eye of >disembodied sorcerer Sauron from Lord of the Rings. > The Hourglass Nebula, 8,000 light years away, has a >pinched-in-the-middle look because the winds that shape it are weaker at >the centre. > In sixth place 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). > The Perfect Storm, a small region in the Swan Nebula, 5,500 >light years away, described as 'a bubbly ocean of hydrogen and small >amounts of oxygen, sulphur and other elements'. > Starry Night, so named because it reminded astronomers of the >Van Gogh painting. It is a halo of light around a star in the Milky Way. > The glowering eyes from 114 million light years away are the >swirling cores of two merging galaxies called NGC 2207 and IC 2163 in the >distant Canis Major constellation. > The Trifid Nebula. A 'stellar nursery', 9,000 light years from >here, it is where new stars are being born. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haddikazook Posted January 20, 2007 CID Share Posted January 20, 2007 Nope, just a poorly phrased reference to my choice of the crab nebula as a desktop wallpaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
