Check out Hubble Frontier Field Abell 2744-Parallel down in the right hand lower corner - that galaxy with what looks like axis coming out of it. Just bizarre.

Big deal, it's a bunch of dots on a black background. Photoshop 101.

I kid! I love astronomy images, and Hubble has produced many outstanding images. Pics like these always start my mind to wandering. Some days it doesn't even want to come back on its own, I have to track it down.

love them, if your a space buff have you looked into the lunar recon. orbiter photos. I'm not sure about all the scientific reasons for sending it, but one of them was to take pictures of the lunar orbiter landing sites. The photos are incredible. Its hard not to be inspired. I often find myself staring to the moon thinking i wonder what its like up there and that someplace up their is a maned vehicle.

Thanks

The pictures that I found bizarre to the point of spooky are the ones of nebula that look like eyes. The Hourglass Nebula is about the most haunting pic from space I've ever seen:
