Hope you enjoy

Wow, cool.

That is definetely Baja related. I saw the same thing using my binoculars one night in the San Pedro de Martir, I think.
Thanks for sharing. What kind of camera did you use?
Viva Tequila!
Viva Señor Hubble!

Rob,
Are those brown gases in that picture? I know nothing about astronomy. The big dipper is my limit. And even that is challenging for me on some nights.

This will explain far better than could,my son teaches this stuff,got him started real early.
Explanation: It has become one of the most famous images of modern times. This image, taken with the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995, shows
evaporating gaseous globules (EGGs) emerging from pillars of molecular hydrogen gas and dust. The giant pillars are light years in length and are so
dense that interior gas contracts gravitationally to form stars. At each pillars' end, the intense radiation of bright young stars causes low density
material to boil away, leaving stellar nurseries of dense EGGs exposed. The Eagle Nebula, associated with the open star cluster M16, lies about 7000
light years away. The pillars of creation were imaged recently by the orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory, and it was found that most EGGS are not
strong emitters of X-rays.

After you look at pic,s like this it does something to your head and I,m worried about the economy
There is a nursery you can see with a good pair of 10/50 binoculars,in the middle of Orion,s belt,if you have real good eye-sight you can
just make it out on a black Baja nite unaided.Rob

All these years I thought it was William Blake's. Wrong.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky!
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.
As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark,—
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Hi to all, my name is Michael i live in San Diego,have looked for years but now have jumped in. To the best of my knowledge the photo is a fake. Not
to make anybody mad but there is no color in the vacuum of space?,the picture if it was not cropped should be in black and white? food for thought .
I look foward to your comments.

http://www.denean.com/documents/161.html just new to this but if you want the hair on the back of your neck stand up follow the link (if it works
) if not google "Angles song from hubble telesope" Then if you think you live in a big place walk outside an look up? ps the color is added for
visual effect
A picture all should see atleast once.
