The Spirograph Nebula
(Image: © NASA/ESA/Hubble/STScI/AURA)
On April 24, 1990, the Space Shuttle Discovery carried the Hubble Space Telescope into low Earth orbit. Ten years later, on Sept. 7, 2000, Hubble captured this vibrant sight of planetary nebula IC 418, also known as the Spirograph Nebula. Located about 2,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Lepus, the Spirograph Nebula displays some interesting textures and appears to peer at the viewer like a grand cosmic eye in its purple-and-orange glow.

Judi often posts beautiful photos, and for you to simply say 'next' seems a bit disheartening.

(160,707 posts)3. I went back to check to see if I had posted the wrong link. I didn't.
Each one of those images came as the image with its own article. At the bottom of each image is a short paragraph followed by a link to its own story.
Maybe if you try it again, it will work for you.
Here's one from the group of photos linked on the page linked in the original post:
If you go to the page and click on the photo it becomes very large, and beautiful.
