God's Beautiful Creation, Part 2

This is from an email I received on the Hubble telescope's top ten greatest space photographs. These are the last five I promised a couple of weeks or so ago. The first five are here.

Not only do we witness God's marvelous handiwork here on earth in everything we can see, hear, feel and so on, but His glory is manifested throughout the entire universe!


In sixth place is the Cone Nebula. The part pictured here is 2.5 light years in length (the equivalent of 23 million return trips to the Moon).



The Perfect Storm, a small region in the Swan Nebula, 5,500 light years away, described as 'a bubbly ocean of hydrogen and small amounts of oxygen, sulphur and other elements.



Starry Night, so named because it reminded astronomers of the Van Gogh painting. It is a halo of light around a star in the Milky Way.




The glowering eyes from 114 million light years away are the swirling cores of two merging galaxies called NGC 2207 and IC 2163 in the distant Canis Major constellation.



The Trifid Nebula.
A 'stellar nursery', 9,000 light years from here, it is where new stars are being born.
