Awesome ! Enjoy and reflect.
| We all need a little science. AND IT  IS BEAUTIFUL... ..... Astronomers Select Top Ten Most  Amazing Pictures Taken by HubbleSpace Telescope in Last 16 Years '...they illustrate that our universe is not only deeply strange, but also almost impossibly beautiful.' Michael Hanlon/AH (Nov 25th, 2006) After correcting an initial problem  with the lens, when the Hubble Space Telescope was first launched in  1990, the floating astro-observatory began to relay back to Earth,  incredible snap shots of the 'final frontier' it was perusing. Recently, astronauts voted on the top  photographs taken by Hubble in its 16-year journey so far. Remarking in  the article from the Daily Mail, reporter Michael Hanlon says the  photos 'illustrate that our universe is not only deeply strange, but  also almost impossibly beautiful.' Enjoy! Hubble Telescope's top ten greatest  space photographs. Awesome!!! The Sombrero Galaxy - 28 million  light years from Earth - was voted best picture taken by the Hubble  telescope. The dimensions of the galaxy, officially called M104, are as  spectacular as its appearance It has 800 billion suns and is 50,000  light years across. The Ant Nebula, a cloud of dust and  gas whose technical name is Mz3, resembles an ant when observed using  ground-based telescopes.. . The nebula lies within our galaxy between  3,000 and 6,000 light years from earth In third place is Nebula NGC 2392,  called 'Eskimo' because it looks like a face surrounded by a furry hood.  The hood is, in fact, a ring of comet-shaped objects flying away from a  dying star. Eskimo is 5,000 light years from Earth. At four is the Cat's Eye Nebula. The Hourglass Nebula, 8,000 light  years away, has a 'pinched-in-the- middle' look because the winds that  shape it are weaker at the centre In sixth place is the Cone Nebula.  The part pictured here is 2.5 light years in length (the equivalent of  23 million return trips to the Moon). The Perfect Storm, a small region in  the Swan Nebula, 5,500 light years away, described as 'a bubbly ocean of  hydrogen and small amounts of oxygen, sulphur and other elements'. Starry Night, so named because it  reminded astronomers of the Van Gogh painting. It is a halo of light  around a star in the Milky Way. The glowering eyes from 114 million  light years away are the swirling cores of two merging galaxies called  NGC 2207 and IC 2163 in the distant Canis Major constellation. In Love with Technology?
