The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey - THINGS.

Interesting article but not easily "chunkable" to present here. So, here's the link: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/01/080112154654.htm

And a picture from the nearly TeraByte of data they collected.

I think of THING from the Adams family, Munster. If I do not contribute much it is because I am THINKING.

I enjoy this board because it is doing what a forum should do----causing one to THINK as they learn. Thanks, Fromz.

If you liked the THINGS picture, youll love APOD - Astronomy Picture of the Day. As I post this, it's Thor's Helmet.

The archives are full of spectacular pictures.

Some of them are straight out of a visible telescope, others are constructs using infrared, light we can see, even other types of radiation.

I like the Fairy Eagle Nebula: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap071209.html

Prettuy sure PowerGirl will like a comet over Hungary" http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap071205.html

Trekkies will like the Trifids: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap070813.html
