That’s no amateur job.
Bump
Here’s one you’ll appreciate.
Thanks for that. It gives a little perspective to the nonsense of man made global warming.
Below is an enlargement of M-42, which I shot from my backyard
SCT, 10"- 6.3 w/FR-19X65sec-CLS filter
Orion Nebula M-42. This nebula is about 1275- Light years from Earth. The nebula is a stellar nursery where over 700 stars at various stages are being formed within the central core of the nebula.
Psalm 19
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.
2 Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language
Where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line[a] has gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.
In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
6 Its rising is from one end of heaven,
And its circuit to the other end;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul;
The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his errors?
Cleanse me from secret faults.
13 Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;
Let them not have dominion over me.
Then I shall be blameless,
And I shall be innocent of great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer.
Feyman said that when referring to large amounts of money, the term astronomical numbers is inappropriate. There are only 200 billion stars.
To refer to large numbers, he said that the term “political numbers” would be a better subsititute.
Thats Feynman
Ditto !
Great. The US has more debt than there are stars in the night sky.
Awesome!
He should have held up a silver dollar to give us some perspective on the size.
It would be a great picture except for those overexposed smudges running through the middle....
I like your addition to the picture.

Marked. Awesome.
Exactly why are you changing the original true color to a false color?
