It is beautiful, some photos of galaxy's take my breathe away and remind me what a wondrous place the universe is. There's also some scary looking pictures too, like that one where there's an eye staring at you. Thanks for sharing. | ||

This image (warning, 1.3mb, though I have a 200mb version of it on my drive..) of the Carina Nebula has always been my favorite. | ||

What's the resolution of the 200mb version ? Would you mind sharing it ? | ||

The Hubble Deep Field (HDF) is an image of a small region in the constellation Ursa Major, constructed from a series of observations by the Hubble Space Telescope. It covers an area 2.5 arcminutes across, two parts in a million of the whole sky, which is equivalent in angular size to a 65 mm tennis ball at a distance of 100 metres. The image was assembled from 342 separate exposures taken with the Space Telescope's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 over ten consecutive days between December 18 and December 28, 1995. The field is so small that only a few foreground stars in the Milky Way lie within it; thus, almost all of the 3,000 objects in the image are galaxies, some of which are among the youngest and most distant known. By revealing such large numbers of very young galaxies, the HDF has become a landmark image in the study of the early universe, with the associated scientific paper having received over 800 citations by the end of 2008. + Show Spoiler + | ||

Looking forward to be zooming in and out on that 450 M pixels image. Thanks a lot ! | ||
