Galaxy M81 - High Definition
----- Image Info -------- The sharpest image ever taken of the large "grand design" spiral galaxy M81 was just released.
A spiral-shaped system of stars, dust, and gas clouds, the galaxy's arms wind all the way down into the nucleus. Though the galaxy is located 11.6 million light-years away, the Hubble Space Telescope's view is so sharp that it can resolve individual stars, along with open star clusters, globular star clusters, and even glowing regions of fluorescent gas. The Hubble data was taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys in 2004 through 2006. This color composite was assembled from images taken in blue, visible, and infrared light.

I can't verbalize just what witnessing this amazing site does to me, but is like looking upon creation and know, out there in those far reaches, around a tiny insignificant sun, another planet like ours circles in the vastness of space, and we are not alone.
Well put! I couldnt have said it more elegantly than that. I often go outside and gaze and the wondrous mysteries that lie beyond this fragile world of oursI mean all life forms on this planet.
The music sets the tone nicely to the video its tranquil peacefully soothing.
