Butterfly nebula
My daughter just got a birthday card from Grandpa with this image of a butterfly shaped nebula taken by the Hubble spacecraft. A beautiful birthplace of stars, it’s a work of art.
We’re actually putting it on the fridge.

A friend posted this to her Facebook recently: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yftOy8kz7aE
It’s a slideshow of gorgeous Hubble images set to one of my favorite songs, Massive Attack’s “Teardrop.” Nice little moment of Zen for the day.
