I read it's the best shot they made of the nebula and that the original photo has 3 billion pixels! that's like 54.000x54.000 pixels or something! I so wanna see THAT version :D

There are some fantastic images from the Very Large Telescope site, but some are very large downloads, up to 80Mb

Its so beautiful.

@pidjy"can you imagine such a thing over your head when looking the sky at night" Somewhere between here and that Nebula there may be a planet with an alien Townhome that has that view. For Sale 2 bedroom townhome, Nice view of the Nebula asking 54'000 zacrons a great Weekend getaway or Starterhome.:) I'de like that view.

I remember the first time I saw the Orion nebula thru a home-built 10-inch Dobsonian telescope. I was surprised because it was actually blue .

Yeah MM, I saw the Orion Nebula through my 8 Mead Newtonian, motor driven German equatorial, it looked like a grayish blue haze. But we both know that the longer the exposure, the more light reaches the photographic medium. So earlier views from earth bound telescopes now seem a bit white washed and fussy when compared to this new Hubble image taken in a space vacuum. Ive also viewed the Andromeda Galaxy and a few of the Messier objects.

Somewhere between here and that Nebula there may be a planet with ET and arto deto waiting for bryce 6 .

for some free stuff i made
and for almost daily fotos

MM i remember that, i saw it through my bionic eye(left eyey)..brought a tear to it ;)

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.

 

Don't forget the Bryce telescope. It can see star forming regions in other galaxies.

Wow, there you go PJF, excellent work! Now, how did you do it? Give us a peek into your methods. CrazyDog, I'm just glad you didn't use your rear bionic eye. ;) LOL!
