Cool Space Photos
I discovered that NASA has an �Image of the Day� feature on their website. Most of the photos seem to be of past explorers or shots of moments in NASA history, but every few days they throw in breathtaking space photographs like this one.
This is photo, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of the star V838 Monocerotis, captured an example of a astronomical event called a light echo � �light from a stellar explosion echoing off dust surrounding the star that produces enough energy in a brief flash to illuminate surrounding dust.�
There are plenty of fascinating photos over at NASA�s site.Labels: General
