Instead of 10 - it looks more like .10 to me...

That's an amazing sight...

What an extraordinary photo!

Just when too many artists are preoccupied with the shocking and the vulgar, the Hubble brings us wonders never before seen of astonishing beauty.

Thank you.

Of course we are just here to be witnesses. How else could the cosmos on the macro scale have self experience except by creating sentient life? Being in a living body is the mechanism by which the All has the chance of discovering and rediscovering eternally truth, beauty, liberty.

Good picture. It is welcome relief from the political turmoil.

Cris,

Well quoted, this one and only antidote to nihilism.
