    @twophrasebark: The fourth "moon" is a tiny light speck just "above" the "left" tip of the ring.

    But of course that's no moon.

    Is anyone else noticing an optical illusion where it changes sizes? Or is it time for me to make an appointment with an optometrist.

    @Erinaceus: With a significant number of those stars passing within a lightyear of each other, I doubt a planet could survive long enough to evolve life before the inevitable rogue-body collision. I'm willing to bet that cluster sees more traffic than the 405 during rush hour.

    Are those ornaments REAL? If so, I am so converting, getting a Christmas tree, and getting me a million of those Hubble baubles.

    Someone's going to get a Stellar Spire in the Eagle Nebula this year. And I have to say that I never thought I'd see the words "majestic" and "sombrero" in such close proximity.


    That said, awesome gallery.
