Default Pictures of the Universe? come to this topic (56k WARNING!)

I wasn't quite sure where to put this, so i'll put it here. I've got a huge collection of really cool galaxies and planets, and I thought i'd share them.

i'll post the most astounding one first. This is an animated picture that first shows earth and then about 25 other planets in a size comparison.

Good idea. But I'd say leave out any animated stuff since it takes several light years to load. Twenty minutes later and I am still waiting for the animated one to finish loading. Sorry, I've got to catch my ride to Andomeda, can't wait.

Be sure to label each picture so that we know the name of what we are looking at. And only put one picture in each page.

There's nothing like a picture of the universe to keep us humble before the Creation. And such enormous beauty everywhere! Wow!

Thanks!

uh-oh I caught this post a little late. Some of these pictures are humongous. I wasn't thinking about the people with slower internet connections.

i'll see if I can fix some of these up.

The Medusa Nebula- this Medusa is an old planetary nebula some 1,500 light-years away in the constellation Gemini. the nebula is associated with a dramatic transformation. The planetary nebula phase represents a final stage in the evolution of low mass stars like the sun, as they transform themselves from red giants to hot white dwarf stars and in the process shrug off their outer layers. Ultraviolet radiation from the hot star powers the nebular glow.
