Astronomy | Globular Cluster in Hercules

A noteworthy astronomy pic of the day. Click to enlarge to get the full affect. Or better yet go to the link and click for an even higher resolution photo. The Great Globular Cluster in Hercules. Note the galaxies scattered throughout this photo:




















You know if we were actually placed here by god, gods, or even aliens they had a sense of humour. Here we sit watching as our telescopes show the unimaginable distances out there, the beauty and pageantry, stars, planets and galaxies being born and dying, and here we're doomed to sit on our little mote in the vastness. Just watching the show.
