Sombraro Galaxie also called M104 in Messiers catalog at a distance of 28 millions light years from our planet Earth. This is considered one of the best pictures Hubble took. Then we have the Ants Nebula so called because of its shape and located 3000 and 6000 light years.
The Hubble telescope is located outside our atmosphere and is orbiting around the Earth at 593 km above sea level with an orbital period of about 96 to 97 minutes at a speed of 28,000 km per hour. Its name in honor of astronorner Edwin Hubble, it was placed in orbit on April 24, 1990. It weighs about 11000kg in a cylindrical form with a 13.2 meters length and a diameter of 4.2 meters. This telescope can obtain images of the cosmos at a 0.1 arc second of resolution
Then we have the Ants Nebula so called because of its shape and located 3000 and 6000 light years. Then is the Esquimo Nebula at 5000 light years. In fourth place the Cats Eye Nebula. Fifth place the Hour Glass Nebula located 8000 light years the result of an exploding star. In 6th place, we have a part of the Cone Nebula at 2.5 light years.
In Seventh position, we find a protion of the Swan Nebula located 5,500 light years described as an ocean of hydrogen with small quantities of oxygen, sulfur and other elements. In 8th place, the beautiful image called Starry night and also know as Light Echo. In 9th place, two galaxies merging NGC 2207 and IC 2163 located 114 millions light years. Tenth place, a fragment of the Trifid Nebula with many stars at 9000 light years.
Words are escaping us when you discover their monumental pictures of colors and light.
The Eagle Nebula or M16 can be found in the Serpent contallation, and its like an open window at the centre of a starry night. At the centre, many young stars forming creating a wonderful spectacle of gaseous emissions. Antares is the 15th most brilliant star in the night sky. It is located at more then 1000 light years.
I HOPE THIS HAS ENLIGHTENED YOU. BEYOND OUR SUN, THERE IS A VAST UNIVERSE.
AND, ALL THOSE PROBLEMS THAT YOU HAVE TODAY? WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU SO THAT YOU SQUABBLE ABOUT OR PICK FIGHTS? KEEP YOUR LIFE IN PERSPECTIVE!
Appreciate your home for one moment! Think of those moments when you feel life is overwhelming. When you think your problems are enormousand when you think there is an immense difference between the things you do and those you dont.
Its also a picture when you have moments when you think (as a human being) that you are powerful and magnificentYou are Homo Sapiens, Master of the creation, at the zenith of your technological power! And you feel that with the other six billions persons we are
So far we are unique in this universe. And finallya picture for those moments when you think the world is so big where you live that it is indestructible. With its great cities, all the oceans, mountain ranges and continents Invulnerable Planetinsensitive, with its size and greatness, with our actions as men accomplishing or not. Accomplishing Insensitive? Because, Earth has five hundred millions square kilo-meters of surface! Six thousands quadrillions tons of rocks! And more then one thousand trillions tons of water!
Contemplate this picture for a few moments and think that:
All our wars
All our problems...
All our greatness and misery.
All our technology, our art, our advances
All our civilizations, all our wildlife and flora...
All races, religions
All governments, countries and states...
All our love and hateSix billions souls in constant agitationIt does make you think?
If we want, we can take this picture like a lesson in humility And like a double message:
On one hand, how little we are in this universe, with our problems and our differences, when we see them on this scale...But on the other side, how fragile is our planet,
And the importance of taking cares of this little planet, because its the only home we have!
