Pacman

Yes its true, I do like the idea of a telescope in space, cutting through all of the fuzziness of the night sky, out there in the cold darkness of space. When I post pictures of what the Hubble has done, I am ignoring what some folks are doing right in our own backyard.

If you think about it Junior, this is where you most likely will have your greatest moments starring at the sky. Although, you are on the verge of a time when you may be able to be a space tourist. Possibly even to the Moon.

This photo was done by a guy named Greg Morgan from Clovis, California. Officially called NGC 281 it is approximately 10,000 light-years away, give or take a few hundred light years in the constellation Cassiopeia. It is sometimes called the Pacman Nebula.
