- CivicTV, on 08/14/2009, -0/+11It's actually the first Death Star explosion from episode IV (before lucas ***** with it).
- beyond12am, on 04/23/2009, -3/+11wow, very cool. Here's another one:

- PiscisAustrini, on 04/23/2009, -0/+6From the Hubble Website:
This stellar swarm is M80 (NGC 6093), one of the densest of the 147 known globular star clusters in the Milky Way Galaxy. Located about 28,000 light-years from Earth, M80 contains hundreds of thousands of stars, all held together by their mutual gravitational attraction.
Globular clusters are particularly useful for studying stellar evolution, since all of the stars in the cluster have the same age (about 15 billion years), but cover a range of stellar masses. Every star visible in this image is either more highly evolved than, or in a few rare cases more massive than, our own Sun. Especially obvious are the bright red giants, which are stars similar to the Sun in mass that are nearing the ends of their lives. - Jakeman21co, on 04/23/2009, -1/+7maybe it is just closer to earth...
- jmcneilly, on 04/23/2009, -0/+5My God... It's full of stars!
- Phenobarbital4U, on 04/23/2009, -0/+5that blue star to the left of the middle is frikin gigantic
- cksos1, on 04/23/2009, -0/+4Stunning! Another indication of how amazing and mysterious this universe is!
- teshkovano, on 07/28/2009, -0/+3Because wikimedia is going to fall to the digg effect....
- patm1987, on 04/23/2009, -0/+1They kinda are, every object there is exerting a gravitational force which, iirc, is the strongest force we know of over such a great distance. The only reason we're not merging into some giant massive object is that the universe itself is accelerating outwards (kind of like if you simulated what we see as a 2D simulation on the surface of a balloon and then started inflating the balloon).
Note: I am not an astrophysicist, I just like writing simulations. Although, the fun part is that if you work out the math* of everything expanding you get a minimum of 7 or so dimensions.
*I have not worked out the math. - Exodin, on 04/23/2009, -0/+1Red stars are moving away from us blue stars are moving toward us
- inactive, on 04/23/2009, -0/+1Where's your God now?
- inactive, on 04/23/2009, -0/+1I believe these stars are migrating up north.
- Cyras, on 04/23/2009, -0/+1And the Hubble ultra-deep-field of course.
- Myztry, on 04/23/2009, -1/+2"all held together by their mutual gravitational attraction."
Wouldn't it be interesting it they were all orbiting each other in some kind of crazy swarm. Like binary stars but hundreds of thousands of times more complex. There could be one slingshotting our way at the speed of light. (well not likely, but...) - zosX, on 04/23/2009, -0/+1Every man and woman is a star.
- Hraes, on 04/23/2009, -0/+1...only two? What are you, blind?
- HaSatan, on 04/23/2009, -1/+2This is just another indication of the divine power of Zeus!!
- gavroche, on 04/23/2009, -0/+1YES I am! >:-(
Theres no need to be rude with me! - peterinjapan, on 04/24/2009, -0/+1"Far beyond this world I've known, far beyond my time..."
(Buck Rogers joke) - Hraes, on 04/23/2009, -0/+1Gosh, I'm so sorry. I have nothing against blind people. One of my friends is blind, so I can't possibly have anything against blind people.
- gavroche, on 04/23/2009, -0/+1I spotted 2 black holes.
- UnPaddieTitled, on 04/23/2009, -0/+1Found him
- Kev8888, on 04/23/2009, -0/+1/s
- ScienceMatters, on 04/23/2009, -1/+1more like DiggDouche. Kidding, I don't think you are a douche. I just couldn't resist.
- raza7370, on 04/23/2009, -1/+1wow !! nice pic to spes
- starsshine, on 04/30/2009, -0/+0That is so amazing! I just got my boyfriend a telescope for his birthday. I can’t wait to use it!
- inactive, on 04/23/2009, -0/+0Wow, that's awesome.
- sayoshinn, on 04/23/2009, -4/+4Makes it even more incredible when you look at this...http://digg.com/d1ofQT
- inactive, on 04/24/2009, -1/+0We're lucky it wasn't Micheal Moore
- Quaterni0n, on 04/23/2009, -2/+1Dumb people.
- fattmarrell, on 04/23/2009, -1/+0That's no star, that's the Millennial Falcon getting the hell outa there
- 0Gravitas, on 04/23/2009, -2/+0you mean Q-NCC1701D
:P - Phlewid, on 04/23/2009, -5/+2Probably, but they won't care to understand your actions or respond with any degree of shock that you were hoping to get from us in this blog.
Buried - arinori, on 04/23/2009, -4/+0there are a lot of red stars o_O
- christoast, on 04/23/2009, -7/+2I just realized I could just go crazy with the lens flair in photoshop (and maybe some spray can in paint), submit it to digg and say I was the first to observe the globular star cluster delta-Q-NCC1701
- yuutokun, on 04/23/2009, -7/+2Diggsauce 2009
- inactive, on 04/23/2009, -7/+3Ancient? Yes, they are. 6000 years.
- Garofoli, on 04/23/2009, -8/+1Looks like what the big bang would have been like.
- inactive, on 04/23/2009, -13/+4I wonder if some alien will look out at Earth with their advanced telescope in tens of thousands of years and see me fapping in the back yard to the men in a K-Mart catalog?
