Support --Per above..Yep! its once-in-a-lifetime chance to nominate a PoC pic. Well guys, any idea why they are named so? The nebula isn't creating any stars as it did some 6000 years ago. But surprised that even now, those diffraction spikes still appear in HST images while many other ground based guys don't show it up to a large extent..--The Herald : here I am 13:38, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
