Dazzling image captures violent birth of stars
POSTED: 11:17 a.m. EDT, April 25, 2007

" WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- A dazzlingly detailed image released by NASA scientists on Tuesday shows the chaotic conditions in which stars are born and die -- in this case in a huge nebula in another neighborhood of our Milky Way galaxy.

The image, made from a series of 48 shots taken by the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope in spring and summer of 2005, depicts star birth in a new level of detail.

It provides a view spanning a distance of 50 light years across of the Carina Nebula. A nebula is an immense cloud of hot interstellar gas and dust."

That photo is breathtaking.  It's hard to believe that so many are skeptical of life outside of our little planet.

Edited to add the fact that I can't type the letter p on my laptop.  Nor can I type apostrophes or anything else on the upper right hand side of this stupid thing.  The buttons do not work half the time.  Any occurence of the letter p or an apostrophe is brought to you by cut and paste.  I could go upstairs and use the pc, but it is not worth it.  So if you come across any exceptionally trite posts of mine, it just means my comp has issues.

Oh Fuck!!! ....I was hoping it was going to show possibly the birth of Julia Roberts....Where an emergency "C-section" had to be performed on her mother who subsequently died on the table.....Well even though I am extremely dissapointed it's still kinda cool.

Vendaval,

You just keep doing this, thank you.

Here is the  NASA  Astronomy Picture of the Day Archive.

http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html

It has many of the pictures you have posted here. 
After you link to the photo, clicking on the photo will
then give you a BIG version.

It is without a doubt my one of the great places for
wallpaper on the internet.  ENJOY!

Outlier
