The nebula looks like my eye. LOL. Off on another subject, the GOP trounced the dems in the Missouri General Assembly (our state legislature) Even the Republicans were suprised.

What an awesome picture! Do you know of any place I could get a poster or a print of that one? Is there some sort of e-store that sells prints of photos taken by Hubble?
