Infrared Revealed

Friends,

This fascinating shot contains a large nebula and two galaxies that were fairly shrouded by the Milky Way galaxy until revealed by a new infrared camera now in orbit. The nebula is shaped like a heart...and with some imagination, the heart can be discerned in the middle to right of the photo. The first galaxy appears as a white spiral in the upper left hand corner...and the second is the vibrant blue dot on the left side of the screen (falsely colored by the camera...but beautiful, nonetheless).

Blessings,
Don

have you seen the how great is our God video by Louis G? It is AMAZING! So is the Star of Bethlehem one. (did I spell that right???)

I have seen both of these videos...and they are quite impressive. Being an astronomy enthusiast, I particularly enjoyed Louie Giglio's work...
