Wow this looks amazing, and we'll be able to see alot more when nasa launch their infrared telescope at the back end of the year. Able to penetrate massive dust clouds. you can check on the nasa site for information regarding this.
Exciting times ahead. who knows what will be discovered, and how much may be covered up.

That's incredible. I would love to know the "behaviour" attributes of this in comparison to our own sun.

Behold! The beauty of the universe. Truly remarkable OP. Thanks for sharing .

Some of the other images are just simply amazing!

I mean just WOW!

tO

I have to agree, the images are just breathtaking.

I love these types of images!!! Did anybody else notice in the descriptions of several images, they kept describing a star when the picture showed nebulae? Maybe I was just misinterpreting it, who knows, I wouldn't be surprised these days!

I had to S+F this.

More peeps need to see this awesomeness!

I especially like the horse head nebula, looks so freaky!

Thanks for the star, i agree more people need to take a look, and to think this is just a spec as to what's out there

That's the Eta Carina, isn't it?

Wonderful set of images! Awesome. Star for you.

I've already seen most of these (some of them are pretty old), but for those who haven't seen them, they really should. Some of these pictures are absolutely amazing.
