An Unusually Complex Planetary Nebula

Ah, Yea.

Click the picture to read a description on the APOD site, and click it again a couple more times to explore the area in closer detail.  After that, clear your mind, take a breath, have an Andes.

    1. Admiral, I'm with you. Imagine any life forms on any of the billions of planets within range of that super nova. We are small indeed in the grand scheme.

    I love looking at the sky-esp at night--or when flying objects or birds appear in the day!

    BTW- Cavuto does not apologize on the video--it is worth a watch-really : - )

    1. Hi Z, Andes is the chocolate covered mints the hotel people put on your pillow. We put those out on the guest bed when we had recent company, they loved it. :)
