A new view of the Whirlpool Galaxy showcases the spiral galaxy's curving arms where newborn stars reside and its yellowish central core that serves as home for older stars.
The eternal magnificence and wonder of our universe makes our earthy cares seem exceedingly small by comparison.

During the 15 years Hubble has orbited the Earth, it has taken more than 700,000 photos of the cosmos. I wonder how many CDs or DVDs that would take to duplicate?

"Tall dense tower of gas...". Wow. A remarkable and beautiful picture! Thanks for posting it. Come to think of it, the description in quotes reminds me of Harry Reid, though!

The Whirlpool is one of my favorites. Nicely defined spiral structure with the one arm trailing off and seeming to embrace its satellite. The Lord sure makes some beautiful galaxies...

If you take the upper right hand corner of the picture and invert it, you see the eye of God. Seriously...almost spooky.

Thank you, thank you, Wolfstar. What wonders are out there! I really needed to see these reminders of God's creation today. I feel better and lighter than I did five minutes ago.

Is there any info regarding the distances covered in the photograph? I recall seeing similar photos some time ago and the distance from one end to the other was measured in light years(?). Truly remarkable pictures. Thanks for the post.

Wonderful but are they "colored" by NASE artists like previous pictures or are these the actual photo's?
