The Eagle Nebula

Wow! Take a look at this wild photo of the Eagle Nebula. Wait...you didn't drop out of that in your flight through cyberspace today, did you? Now that you're here, the coffeepot is in its usual place right next to the tray of delectable virtual doughnuts, muffins and assorted colourful treats. Nothing like the colours in the nebula though...

This wide-field image of the Eagle Nebula was taken at the National Science Foundation's 0.9-meter telescope on Kitt Peak with the NOAO Mosaic CCD camera.

Located in the constellation of Serpens, the Serpent, the Eagle Nebula is a very luminous open cluster of stars surrounded by dust and gas.

The three pillars at the center of the image, made famous in an image by the Hubble Space Telescope, are being sculpted by the intense radiation from the hot stars in the cluster.

Looks like some of my spatial digital images, don't'cha think? What...you haven't seen them lately? Holy space rocks! Take a looksee here: http://www.bobsartstudio.net

If some of my links aren't working, well...I'm working on them okay but like, I have over 700 pages on the site so they take time. Yada...yada...yada...

See ya,eh!
