Mitch Cronin Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Courtesy of the Astronomy Picture of the Day (If you haven't already seen this picture on APOD, I can't believe you haven't bookmarked that sight and don't visit daily!) "The Ring Nebula" Planetary Nebula - 2,000 light-years away... Galaxy IC 1296 (that wispy looking, backwards S shaped thing in the upper right) is closer to 200,000,000 light-years out! [oops. I'm not supposed to link to the image so it displays here, I don't think. ... so just click on APOD, or go here: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html and click any day you like... ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Interesting photo Mitch. If that was 200,000,000 years ago it makes one wonder what it looks like now.
