Explanation: The prominent ridge of emission featured in this sharp, colorful skyscape is cataloged as IC 5067. Part of a larger emission nebula with a distinctive shape, popularly called The Pelican Nebula, the ridge spans about 10 light-years following the curve of the cosmic pelican's head and neck. This false-color view also translates the pervasive glow of narrow emission lines from atoms in the nebula to a color palette made popular in Hubble Space Telescope images of star forming regions. Fantastic, dark shapes inhabiting the 1/2 degree wide field are clouds of cool gas and dust sculpted by the winds and radiation from hot, massive stars. Close-ups of some of the sculpted clouds show clear signs of newly forming stars. The Pelican Nebula, itself cataloged as IC 5070, is about 2,000 light-years away. To find it, look northeast of bright star Deneb in the high flying constellation Cygnus.

Amazing and wonderous.
The other night I watched a documentary where they spoke of an estimated 300 Billion stars in the galaxy (ours)
Then I thought of, how many millions of galaxies there are.
WOW
HH 555 is the clearest example of a Herbig-Haro object in the Pelican Nebula. In this image detail you can easily see the jet shooting out of the tip of the pillar indicating the presence of an unseen protostar.
How Great Thou Art
Writer: Pastor Carl Boberg
O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
Refrain:
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
Refrain
When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.
Refrain
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
Refrain
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: “My God, how great Thou art!”
Refrain
In fact, when blown up, the image in today's view provides greater detail -- especially in the jets.
BTW, are you aware of any explanations as to why the jets are not diametrically-opposed?
Thanks for pointing it out to us!
Maybe they are looking at two different things!................
So far the number of galaxies is in the hundreds of billions. We keep finding more.
‘-)
We are one of many drops on the microscope slide in some aliens laboratory.
I have often wondered that question.
Whether we are actually living in a simulation of sorts.
No matter how much I think about it, the answers elude me!
so Ive been wondering.... does false color mean a guess?
That's exactly what Satan is counting on to delude you and why he promotes these unfounded speculations. Ultimately, all real answers elude all humans' attempts at derivation. That's why God gave us the gospel as found in creation (cf Job, Romans 1, etc.), and the Bible, which your hero Martin Luther recognized and promoted so energetically as having those answers. The clincher is that the Bible's claims are objectively testable and falsifiable; and having been thoroughly tested, they pass every test. Therefore, it can be relied upon to provide those answers which you seek. And it certainly debunks unfounded speculations such as you and minnesota_bound entertain.
False color means, these aren’t the colors in the original image; it’s used to bring out details that are either in part of the spectrum that the human eye can’t see, or to bring out the contrast within a very narrow band of color.
