A picture named tn_hubble.jpg

The Cellar's image of the date site led me to this photo on the Hubble Space Telescope site.

This is apparently the remnants of the explosion of the star Cassiopeia A.

If this is what the universe looks like, than I agree with the astronomer Sir Arthur Eddington, who said "not only is the universe stranger than we imagine , it is stranger than we can imagine."

(It may have been J. B. S. Haldane who said it first, I have seen both citations. I remember it from reading the science fiction of Arthur C Clarke).

I seem to be into images today.

I just rediscovered the Cellar's image of the day site. Fun stuff. Today had a cool bug, yesterday had something truly strange. The site is worth checking out.
