Orion Nebula (big pic) - thanks to MitchC - not bike related
 

I got this from a link on MitchC's blog. It's a view of the Orion Nebula taken by the Hubble telescope. It's simply stunning, I couldn't resist placing it on here for a wider audience. Sort of pic that makes you feel very very small.

yep - i agree - that is an amazing pic

:thumbsup: yep cool pic.

Agreed, Very humbling
but isn't that Zaphord Beeblebrox hiding behind Beetlejuice (top left bright star)

Is it just me or does that look sort of like a hooded figure in the middle-right of the pic? Spooky...

Cool pic 8)

Looks more like Nessie to me.

Looks like its all been photo shopped.

Maybe but not by me, not least coz I wouldn't have a clue how to do it. I took it straight off the Hubble site.

That first pic looks like a distorted close up of one of Rafael's works in the Cistine Chapel. :wink: (Yeah I went there last year! The scale of the paintings there is mind blowing!)

Did anyone else see the laughing monkey?
