Astronomy Fun Fact:

Isn't the Hubble Space Telescope amazing? This beautiful nebula isn't even in our galaxy!
It's located in M33, the Triangulum Galaxy, about 3 million light years away!

Here's a great comparison image. Palomar is home of a 200-inch telescope, for years the largest in the world.
But just compare its resolution with that of HST!
