  1. Amazing - Hey Kid, growing up in Alaska you wouldn't believe the night sky up North. Absolutely nothing like it - stars so close it seemed you could reach up and touch them. And the Northern Lights? WOW

  2. That is not a pretty galaxy. It is a handsome one.

  3. DeanO, I lived in Arizona for 20 years, and on a few occasions, found myself far enough from city lights to really see the sky. I'm jealous, because most of my life, I've lived with light pollution.

    I have never seen the Northern lights though in person.

    What you describe makes it easier to understand early man's fascination with the stars. No light pollution what-so-ever. Imagine.

  4. Opus, Given the lovely curves, I have to stay with the feminine reference here :)

  5. Hey Kid - light pollution - I like that as I truly miss the starry sky here in GA.

  6. DeanO, Seems you've got to get at least 50 miles from any large city to really see the sky. That is hard to do.

  8. Carol - You won't believe this but that is exactly what I saw. I wouldn't lie to you.

  9. When we see photos like this I can't imagine anyone not believing in God.
    Thanks for the input over at TCL. How did you log in to make the comment? Your avatar didn't show up, but your link "Kid" did. Do you belong to CommentLuv? I'm just wondering because I am not sure if you have to be a member to have your latest post show up. Sorry for the questions, but I'm trying to figure out if I want to keep the comment program or not.
    Thanks.

  10. TCL, Agreed. Einstein said "Religion without science is lame, Science without religion is blind" (I think that's right.)

    When I commented, I entered my ID -Kid, then email and also put my blog URL into a box for the URL to go. I did not log into anything.

    So I go to the APOD site, and the one they have for today is so stunning I have to post that one too. Come on back in 10 minutes for another look at God's creations.

  11. This is truly beautiful! It's a nice pair in honour of the Royal Wedding, just thinking.....and maybe in the near future the baby analogy will come true too!

  12. Bunni, Another good point. I hadn't thought of it but now that you point it out.

    And yes. ;-)
