  • inactive, on 04/12/2008, -1/+13Hey NASA's new website is looking pretty kick ass. Thank God more websites are getting rid of the white background. It's like staring at a light bulb /Maddox
  • twertyto, on 04/13/2008, -0/+3..and are you still using Windows 3.11?
  • PabloIV, on 04/12/2008, -2/+5Anyone else notice that the NASA page got a pretty decent facelift?
  • jix3333, on 04/12/2008, -0/+2True, staring at a complete white background hurts my eyes.
    Back on track, this picture looks amazing.
  • heavystone, on 04/13/2008, -0/+2Man, it just makes you feel uneasy knowing just how brutal and the massive amount of activity is going on around us!
  • otw7, on 04/12/2008, -0/+2I'll have to disagree with Stalin and say that pretty much any pic of deep space is cool.
  • kru1e, on 04/12/2008, -2/+3http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/222217main_imag ...
  • twertyto, on 04/13/2008, -0/+1Just coming here then.
  • CookingRock, on 04/12/2008, -1/+1I KNEW there was a reason for me to wake up this morning.

    Very cool

    universe in action!
  • kamerononfire, on 04/14/2008, -1/+1Looks like Boba Fett's ship.
  • crowbarred, on 04/13/2008, -1/+1At first i thought i was looking at an image from The "Alien" films ...... nah ... couldn't be
  • beankitty, on 04/12/2008, -2/+2thank you for contributing.
  • jix3333, on 04/12/2008, -1/+1Yep, but one major drawback - it is too wide for 800x600 monitors.
  • commenter01, on 04/12/2008, -2/+2take a hint digg.
  • inactive, on 04/12/2008, -2/+2"Bow Shock" sounds like something I'd hear a kid say on Xbox Live.
  • commenter01, on 04/12/2008, -0/+0?
  • DigitAl56K, on 04/12/2008, -3/+2*NASA

    Nice picture.
  • twertyto, on 04/13/2008, -2/+1Give me a break I remember seeing this pic in high school which was over a decade ago. Stop digging Hubble pics and just go to hubblesite.org.
  • jix3333, on 04/12/2008, -3/+1Agreed, I wonder why so many space "pictures" get to the Digg Images frontpage lately. Just like the Chinese - they all look same to me...
  • commenter01, on 04/12/2008, -4/+2technically, he farted, and then produced a counter-fart. i'm impressed.
  • sockpuppets, on 04/12/2008, -5/+3SPF500000 please.
  • shoesless, on 04/12/2008, -3/+1pretty cool
  • inactive, on 04/12/2008, -7/+2old but a spectacular pix
  • polishdude06, on 04/12/2008, -7/+2"Named for the crescent-shaped wave made by a ship as it moves through water,
    a bow shock can be created in space when two streams of gas collide."

    God ripped a big one in space and this is the result...

  • IvanB, on 04/12/2008, -25/+229 diggs, over a day old and no comments..and it still makes frontpage?
  • SEGA4life, on 04/12/2008, -28/+230 diggs and on the front page? It's either a slow news day, or digg still has hiccups.

    Nice Pic tho.
