The Heavens Declare His Glory!! what indescribable beauty and awe are in His creation. Thanks for the awesome pics Matt!!

Isn't it amazing these sights go unnoticed by millions of people each day. Kinda like the vast mysteries of the very depths of the oceans.

Cbass- were you wathcing that show on Animal Planet Wednesday night about the creautres on the bottom three miles down? It was awesome! The angler fish are the ugliest with their snaggle teeth galore!

The sky, stars and planets are beautiful and awesome but I think we should stop wasting millions of dollars looking for life on Mars already!!!

I agree Dana. Send that $ this way. Really though that last pic I saw in the "eye of God" e-mail before. Did you guys?

Yeah I've seen the e-mail this is what snopes has to say:

Origins: The
above-displayed image is a real photograph of the Helix Nebula, although it's technically not a single photograph but rather a composite image formed from several photographs taken by NASA's orbiting Hubble Space Telescope and a land-based telescope at the Kitt Peak National Observatory near Tucson, Arizona. This image was NASA's "Astronomy Picture of the Day" for 10 May 2003.

The Helix Nebula does not naturally appear with the colors shown above, however; the tinting of the image is artificial. The picture's "Eye of God" appellation is a title coined by an admirer of the photo due to the nebula's resemblance to a human eye, not something designated by NASA, and the nebula is also visible all the time, not merely "once in 3000 years."

And no Dana I didn't. I only have local channels on my cable. But I used to love to watch animal planet and such. I saw those way cool creature pictures on a cross tv with our HRS night.
