Rossolatos, that is a great image of an interesting object.
How are the fires in your area?

Thanks a lot, happy that u like it. The hubble palette is really a great invention for the scientific point of view of the Heavens.

Finally after 4 days and 200.000 square klm burned trees, its over. It was one of the worst fire in Athens. It was 100% a crime from people that has put this fires for unknown (for me) reasons.

Rossolatos,

That's a beautiful image. I didn't know about this object. Thanks for sharing it with us.

We know all about fires in Australia. A lot of them are deliberately lit. I just don't understand why anyone would want to start a fire. I hope you guys can get back on track quickly.
