  2. Aren't they Sam!

    Glad you viewed them. I was showing Glenn these earlier and when we were reading out how many light years they were away and also the very size of some of these.. truely amazing.

    Makes a person feel pretty insignificant.

  3. Feeling insignificant is not really a bad thing in my book... I think it is healthier and certainly a more realistic viewpoint than feeling overly significant...

  5. Hey thanks Paul... I dont know why my link didnt post as a cickable link... I clicked on the link you left in your comment thinking.. goodie, some more amazing pics.. doh, I was at the origional link I posted.

    While I was there I checked out the one that amazed Glenn and I with the description of size..
    Number 6... 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).

    I find it fascinating that we can learn all this about "whats up there" .. with everything we learn.. its really ony a drop in the ocean from what there IS to stil discover and learn.

  9. How are you Dave. When I first saw the "Crab Nebula" a few years ago, I actually assumed it was a photoshopped pic.. when I read about what I was looking at I was stunned. We live in a very very amazing universe, for sure.
