Hubble...

Who knew? The Hubble telescope has a website...guess I should have figured out someone would post the information but the pictures are spectacular...do yourself a favor and go in for a visit!



Hubble's 20th anniversary image shows a mountain of dust and gas rising in the Carina Nebula. The top of a three-light-year tall pillar of cool hydrogen is being worn away by the radiation of nearby stars, while stars within the pillar unleash jets of gas that stream from the peaks.
