God is so AWESOME.
Lots more images and info here at the official NASA Hubble Space Telescope website:

I’m still trying to find “before and after” comparison images, because it was pretty darn good prior to the recent repairs.
Ok, the size of the explosions on MythBusters is really starting to get out of hand.
At 4000 light years away, it is just around the corner.
Just incredible.
There should be a daily ping list for these photos. I know I’d love to start my day with something like this all the time.
How anyone can deny God when we are given such beautiful and awesome sights as these is beyond me.
Thank you Jesus for the reminder that YOU ALONE are in control, not us, not the people in Washington or other heads of states around the world. For whatever may come in the months and years ahead, YOUR promises will keep us sustained and it is in YOU that we will find our strength when we are angry, confused, and afraid. Thank YOU for giving your life for us that we may be saved. Help us to always seek YOUR truth and to never think we are above humility. Amen.
Space would be sort of boring if not for nebulas.
I want one!
That is one gorgeous, violent event.
High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,
I’ve topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

Do you have any info on the coloration of the picture? I think I read somewhere that technicians add the color after, based on the chemical makeup. The actual photos don’t show colors, and they don’t appear in color to the naked eye. Am I correct about that?
WOW!

Asscheeks in space.
It is pretty, though.
