Isn't it a beautiful nebula? Now realize that it isn't even in OUR galaxy, but in the LMC, at a distance of 180,000 light-years! Impressive!

Get on the APOD PING list!

Yes, that is absolutely beautiful. And NOT in our Galaxy?? Wow!!! I don't think I'll ever look at the night skies the same.

I am so glad I got on your ping list. I'm enjoying these pictures immensely!!

Glorious! Whenever I wonder whether God is real, I remind myself that at this moment, He's creating new stars and planets at distances we can't even imagine. My idea of heaven is to fly faster than the speed of light around the cosmos and see everything. Thanks for the head start.
