    How wonderful that such things exist(ed) and that a busy little species on a faraway planet should be able to record them. And understand them.

    This is why it’s so hard to ignore the hypothesis that there just might be a Creator.

    This and that abiding myth about no two snowflakes being exactly alike. :-)

    The infrared gives it a more dramatic aspect, no doubt about it. Impressive! Speaking of nebulae, the Orion Nebula is positioned for easy viewing right now. Even a good pair of binoculars will show it a little bit.

    Too bad light pollution is so pervasive these days. A clear view of the heavens under truly dark skies is a breathtaking experience, one most people rarely get anymore…
