Wow! Wow! Wow! Awsome!!!


Nothing better than an image like this to help STARt the day... After all, if nothing else, it helps us put in perspective our small daily problems, right? And it forces us to give some minutes of thougth to some questions that should occupy our minds more often...

As Fox Moulder :-) would say, THE TRUTH IS OU THERE!


Well... ain't it true???


The photo was taken by the spatial telescope Spitzer, and news about it can be found at NASA site,
here, where we can learn, among other things, that:

"Newborn stars peek out from beneath their natal blanket of dust in this dynamic image of the Rho Ophiuchi dark cloud from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Called "Rho Oph" by astronomers, it's one of the closest star-forming regions to our own solar system. Located near the constellations Scorpius and Ophiuchus, the nebula is about 407 light years away from Earth".
