Cool APOD Today

Have a look at Adam Block's picture of the dust in the Aquila part of the
Milky Way.
Beautiful.

A wonderful image.

I was also intrigued by the smaller object known as HH32, it really stands out in the Hi-Res image.

It's just incredible isn't it, what we can achieve from a ground based telescope. What a stunner!
Thanks for posting it, Ron.

A wonderful image from a thorough gentleman.

I've known Adam Block since he was an astroimager at Kitt Peak observatory.
