It's beautiful! The word Infinite comes to mind.

Guy on the radio right now is talking about WISE and NEOWISE - NASA operations.

Just ran across a Hubble Holiday Snow Angel -

Guy just said we are going into a new Dalton Minimum, which is associated with a cold period.

So blown away, I don't know what to say.

Thanks!

Yeah those pics are pretty mind-blowing.

Just ran across this article on viewing of small faint Galaxies -

Smallest, Faintest Galaxies of the Ancient Universe Spotted

[www.foxnews.com]

"Two of NASA's most powerful space telescopes have teamed up to shed new light on the early history of the universe.

The Hubble Space Telescope utilized a natural zoom lens to capture nearly 60 of the smallest, faintest galaxies ever spotted in the distant universe. In a separate study, observations by the Spitzer Space Telescope helped researchers determine the masses of four of the brightest early galaxies after Hubble picked them out.

Both results could be followed up by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, an $8.8 billion observatory slated to be launched in late 2018, officials said. [The James Webb Space Telescope (Video)]

Seeing the previously unseen
Deep exposures by Hubble captured images of the smallest, faintest, and most numerous galaxies ever seen in the distant universe as part of a three-year survey known as Frontier Fields.

Using ultraviolet light to trace star-forming regions, the telescope uncovered 58 small, young galaxies as they appeared more than 10 billion years ago, when the universe was less than 4 billion years old. (The Big Bang that created the universe is thought to have occurred around 13.8 billion years ago.)

About 100 times more numerous than larger galaxies, these galaxies are only a few thousand light-years across. Despite bursts of star formation that light them up in the ultraviolet spectrum, they are about 100 times fainter than other galaxies previously detected in deep-field surveys, researchers said.

Most of the galaxies in the early universe have long been too faint to see."

Thanks for all the great photos and links! Here's the Astronomy Picture of the Day, a great picture every day:

was the first one with the blue cluster stars supposed to be pleiades?

anyhow

WOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GORGEOUS!!!! thanks.. made my day!!


reminds me of the infinite Majesty and Wonder of the Universe

Veronique, you caught me out

I don't really know much about outer space. I posted this because Swimmer's into it and because some of the photos of space are so beautiful. I just picked out the prettiest ones with the most gorgeous colors.
