What a freakin' amazing picture of the Sombrero Galaxy from the Hubble Space Telescope!

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -
WOW!

While true, in actual fact all images are "enhanced".I'm always skeptical of telescope images, they almost always 'enhance' it in some way.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Gotta love those funky shaped WF/PC2 images.
And yeah, Osweld - most ST images are substantially "enhanced" since they're not limited to visible spectrum on the imaging side, but they are limited to it on the output side, otherwise you couldn't "see" the image.
They're not creating anything that's not there, but they're translating it into the much narrower range of the EM spectrum that you can see.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016. "You're fired." "I quit."Comment
