Hubblecast 07: Supernova Explosion: Hubble Uncovers The Veil Nebula.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered magnificent sections of the Veil Nebula - the shattered remains of a supernova that exploded some 5-10,000 years ago. The new Hubble images provide beautiful views of the delicate, wispy structure resulting from this cosmic explosion.

Damn i just love astronomy.

[motardkool]

Yep, me too...!

I think that if much more adavanced civilizations exists somewhere, they are "godfree".

We are a too young race to get rid of all our delusions... But it will come, soon.

Science rules!

@motardkool

Have you seen Star Trek The Next Generation? Captain Picard accidentally interferes with the natural progression of a proto-Vulcan culture. One of the proto-Vulcans determines that Picard is a god and assumes to know what "The Picard" wants. When the captain realizes that this culture rid themselves of illogical notions of gods hundreds of years ago, he is very upset. He does everything in his power to keep these "people" from throwing away such an accomplishment.

@motardkool True... How is it possible to be the one and only life form in the whole Universe... It is even a high possibility of extraterrestrial civilizations living in our own cosmic neighbourhood and how about the thousands of other galaxies filled with billions of stars and hospitable planets? I say yes, there is something in just a hand reach distance, it is just not the right time for us because of the lack of technology we have to get to know distant civilizations. But we'll get there...

@motardkool Just wait. Id be very disappointed if I wasn't one of His select few.

[fmcneillii]

@motardkool To be honest if there is intelligent life what to say there's no God? I wouldn't say people who believe in God are anymore deluded than those who believe aliens exist somewhere. In fact there was a time we though time travel was a thing of science fiction but now we learn it's actually entirely possible.
