Dark Clouds of the Carina Nebula

antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov — The entire Carina Nebula spans over 300 light years and lies about 7,500 light-years away in the constellation of Carina. NGC 3372, known as the Great Nebula in Carina, is home to massive stars and changing nebula. Eta Carinae, the most energetic star in the nebula, was one of the brightest stars in the sky in the 1830s, then faded dramatically.

  • IChazI, on 05/29/2008, -1/+11Amazing picture. It is now my new wall paper.
  • andrethegiant, on 05/29/2008, -2/+11there's gotta be life somewhere else
  • AztecScribe, on 05/29/2008, -1/+5Despite the fact I've seen it before and even have it saved I don't think the repost merits calling the guy an idiot! Casual users get to see it if they missed it the last time. You can't search for something you don't know exists.
  • zaldoe, on 05/29/2008, -1/+4did u know the sun is visible only within a distance of 50 light years?
    imagine how many stars we aren't able to see, which may harbor life
  • dynky, on 05/29/2008, -0/+3The original story and many more photos and crops of the nebula:

    Is God trying to tell us something?
  • cyranthus, on 05/29/2008, -0/+2i got a new wallpaper
  • fredmv, on 05/30/2008, -0/+1Damn guys. It was kinda' supposed to be tongue-in-cheek ...

    And yes. The picture is absolutely enthralling. I spent at least 10 minutes just scanning over the entire image, looking at all of the elegant detail. Our beloved Cosmos are simply incomprehensibly beautiful.
  • jjensenii, on 05/30/2008, -0/+1Is it just me, or does anyone else see the two goblins in the right-hand side of the image?
  • jjensenii, on 05/30/2008, -0/+1It would be for me, as well, except that I've already used it in the past.
  • RioDJNarrow, on 06/01/2008, -0/+1Cite your source
  • cyranthus, on 05/29/2008, -1/+2and probably ~99% of other diggers (including me) think you're a ***** dousche.

  • TweakNF, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1This picture was used for album artwork for Catcher's first CD Light and Shadow, as well was the artwork on the webpage http://www.catcher.ca I always wondered what the picture actually was, it's even more striking in large form like this. Thanks for this.
  • nawitus, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1Yet another proof for the Flying Spaghetti Monster
  • Lunarbunny, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1What girlfriend? Oooh, you mean Rosy Palmer.
  • kamisamaji, on 05/29/2008, -1/+2I wasn't aware the point of having a wallpaper was to be original.
  • arcooke, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1I'M A BLITHERING

  • IChazI, on 05/29/2008, -3/+3IT'S A DIFFERENT PICTURE

    IDIOT
  • IChazI, on 05/29/2008, -2/+2No it's not, the picture in the link you provided is different.
  • sabach, on 05/29/2008, -1/+1The picture in the link is a small section of the one in this article, I prefer this one.
  • IChazI, on 05/29/2008, -1/+1I don't care who has the wallpaper, I know that I like it and it looks pretty sweet.
  • DuneChild, on 05/29/2008, -0/+0Wow, it's the same image as one posted six hours later! Great detective work!

  • fredmv, on 05/29/2008, -5/+1And probably ~99% of other Diggers (incl. me). Don't think you're too original.
  • drnorris, on 05/29/2008, -5/+0More boring space crap. You should see the pictures of the Dark clouds that rise from my girlfriend when she moans at me. Digg that.
  • Akraz, on 05/29/2008, -11/+6READ DIGG FRONT PAGE BEFORE POSTING/DIGGING A STORY BLINDLY.

    IDIOTS.
  • Totov, on 05/29/2008, -6/+1shooped
  • JoeHammer, on 05/29/2008, -8/+3I feel like people that don't actually take the time to see if their story is a duplicate are like Veruca Salt from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"...

    "But I wanna goose that lays golden eggs for Easter!!"


    You wanna be on the front page, be original.
