This is what we have to go on without the Hubble Space Telescope. There are other fine obseratories that are now on line which can give excellent photos But none seem to quite matche the Hubble.

Like your choice of images, Wet1. Just thought I'd let you know.

Always look for something that catches the eyes. Thanx.
