Man, I just love the HST. :D

The best part is determining how these nebulas and gas glouds were formed. ;)

Thats pretty cool.


I agree with Grunt. Those would be A-1 Supar background textures.:yes:

Wait, is A-1 Supar actually being used as, a compliment or comment on goodness, now?

Damn you yung 'uns and yer recycling of old terms.

Looking at the "Tadpole" I started to wonder wether we have a good definition of Universe.

Maybe a good one is: Everything beyond me. :rolleyes:

"A-1 Supar"  is a statment to emphisise something as being absurdly beond good, generaly this is in reference to people who are overstating there own abilitys

Take a second look at "The Mice".  It also looks like a guy holding a glowing sword.  One might even say a Light Sabre.;7 (Come now it's only 10 days)  Sorry, I had to throw that in there, but it does look like the head, upper torso, and one of the arms of a guy holding a sword.  I'm sure the science guys at NASA just didn't want to say so.

Well, it could be said that just about any nebula shape looks like some familiar object. :D

They found lots of those already, and all the images we have are from a long time ago... :D

It's not quite clear to me if those colorful images are pure optical, or they used filters or any color processing on them. :eek:

They are usually filtered a bit to make them look sharper, since some of these things are millions of light years away. ;)
