An absolutely stunning photo. Almost dead center, and to the right of Mars, looks like an eye with a tear drop in the corner.

"Globular star cluster M4 shines just right of Antares, but M4 lies some 7,000 light-years away compared to Antares' 500 light-year distance."

For those who don't know, ONE light-year, the DISTANCE light travels in a year, at its speed of 186,000 miles per second, works out to about 5.9 TRILLION miles. That's 5,900 times a BILLION... for ONE light year. Mars, on the other hand, currently lies approximately 80 million miles away.

That Rho Ophichichu is so beautiful. Yes, it does look like a blue tear. I hope I spelled that beauty correctly...

Someday that dust will organize into stars and planets.

The planets may spawn intelligence.

Who knows if they would wonder if they were predicted by earlier intelligence?
