Took me long enough to download the NASA one.

It was worth it, what an amazing image.

How's that closeup of Eta itself with the lobes of the Homunculus.

What's the nebula(?) called that looks like a hand flipping us off?

Great image!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm still trying to get a view of all of it. I need a 30" monitor so that I won't have to scroll.

What an instrument the Hubble Space Telescope is.

Imagine what it's successor will be capable of

:ey epop::eyepo p: What's happened some of my eyes aren't popping .....

Great image thanks for posting the link, I haven't visited the Hubble site for a while.



p.s. I was just looking for the image to load into PS and found this wallpaper image that I must have downloaded a while ago. It was around 400+kb's so I've had to compress it to upload here. I'm sure you will be able to find full version on the Hubble Heritage site.
