- BadAstronomer, on 12/28/2008, -0/+15This image was released in August, and I picked it as one of my Top Ten pictures of the year: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/200 ...

fixed - GoKings, on 12/29/2008, -1/+8Looks like Eliot Spitzer's prostitute's vagina.
- vroom101, on 12/28/2008, -1/+7Detailed press release, 22 August 2008 -- Spitzer Reveals Stellar "Family Tree": http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2008/pr200815.htm ... (www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2008/pr200815.html)
Image description via http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2008/pr200815_ima ... (www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2008/pr200815_images.html): "Generations of stars can be seen in this new infrared portrait from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. In this wispy star-forming region, called W5, the oldest stars can be seen as blue dots in the centers of the two hollow cavities (other blue dots are background and foreground stars not associated with the region). Younger stars line the rims of the cavities, and some can be seen as pink dots at the tips of the elephant-trunk-like pillars. The white knotty areas are where the youngest stars are forming. Red shows heated dust that pervades the region's cavities, while green highlights dense clouds." - oboshoe, on 12/29/2008, -0/+6Well....
That was the first thing I thought of when I read SPITZER space telescope. - captainbethany, on 12/29/2008, -2/+6In before Spitzer/hooker jokes - wait...
- adiggityam, on 12/29/2008, -0/+4Beautiful.
If there's no god, there's something like it. - solid12345, on 12/29/2008, -0/+2Myspace hookers.
- vroom101, on 12/28/2008, -0/+2Image description continued:
"This image contains some of the best evidence yet for the triggered star-formation theory. Scientists analyzing the photo have been able to show that the ages of the stars become progressively and systematically younger with distance from the center of the cavities. This is a three-color composite showing infrared observations from two Spitzer instruments. Blue represents 3.6-micron light and green shows light of 8 microns, both captured by Spitzer's infrared array camera. Red is 24-micron light detected by Spitzer's multiband imaging photometer." - neuens07, on 12/30/2008, -0/+1Is laziness now frowned upon on digg? well, sorry, but you should check out the link anyway, its pretty cool
- Mockylock, on 01/02/2009, -0/+1"It looks like a cloud with a VEIN in it... and it's BLEEEEDING on me, mannnn!"

- Garlik, on 12/29/2008, -0/+1How do you not see Santa Claus in that? The huge red coat with white at the bottom, the thinner red legs, and the small orange-ish head with a red hat on top.
- 5xSTUN, on 12/29/2008, -0/+1There are nine others?
- elscorcho717, on 12/29/2008, -0/+1Well, I clicked on to see inane comments about Eliot Spitzer and I can't say I was dissapointed.
- affiliatebroker, on 12/29/2008, -0/+1I am so glad we are totally alone here... or are we?
- Somnus333, on 12/30/2008, -0/+0anyone else seeing Darth Vader's helmet in there?
- donkz, on 12/29/2008, -1/+1now someone needs to superimpose random stuff into this photo to achieve wow...wow.wow effect
- NicolasHansen, on 12/29/2008, -0/+0I almost thought it was going to be a demotivational poster as it was loading because of the black bars..
I am glad it was not. - wassamatta, on 12/29/2008, -0/+0Damn that looks like a shark's mouth
- calebian, on 12/29/2008, -2/+2whoa, dugg for huge jump in zoom
- jedsmith, on 12/29/2008, -2/+2Dugg for "related by keyword" match "Photos of Eliot Spitzer's Hooker"
- Hickie, on 12/29/2008, -0/+0From the front page this looks like the T-Bone Steak of the universe.
- LoveWidescreen, on 12/29/2008, -1/+1Oh, thank {deity} that it's a genuinely awesome photo and not another one of those damned "fractals that's not really a fractal"! Photos like this really drive home how insignificant we all are in a cosmological sense.
- vat0r, on 12/29/2008, -1/+1Looks like you.. FAIL
- tmike7223, on 12/29/2008, -2/+1here's another view:
http://lh5.ggpht.com/fisherwy/R9i7iaLXU5I/AAAAAAAA ... - frostbyt, on 12/29/2008, -2/+1See no reason to fly out there and step foot on dead planets. We can just look at them from here.
- neuens07, on 12/29/2008, -6/+4I dont feel like typing anything... it's nearing the end of a long night shift, so I will just copy paste an old comment I made:
I've tried to get this link,
http://www.alienearths.org/glimpse/glimpse.php
dugg because it is truly awesome, but I don't have enough friends to shout to, so this never really takes off, but it is a survey of our galaxy taken with the Spitzer Space Telescope. You can zoom in, move around, change between two views, and it all looks very cool.
This is the main website for if anyone wants to read up about it:
http://www.alienearths.org/glimpse/
P.S. if anyone else thinks this is cool, feel free to submit this, maybe it will finally make it to the FP. - ikeeel4money, on 12/29/2008, -3/+1when you see it...oh shi..
- grungegbunny, on 12/29/2008, -3/+1I can see my house from here.

- urbandistrict, on 12/29/2008, -6/+11...2...3....
VAGINA! - deezeejoey, on 12/29/2008, -6/+1I don't know why these images always make the front page. it's all just a mush of colors. You've seen 10, you've seen them all.
- zamedi, on 12/28/2008, -7/+2if u stare at it, almost looks like <insert clever comment> but u gotta turn your head sideways.
