    These images are stunning! You know the gereral public really have no idea whats out there. The mass media has failed, as it always does to publish these and show the public the beauty of the Universe. I hope educators the world over show these to kids to inspire the next generation to push forward our exploration. This generation seems to have given up to a great extent:(

    Sorry:eek: Beeker move on, go to your happy place............ahhhhh happy beeker:D
