The Carina Nebula

[Kariboo]

I know just about nothing about astronomy, but I have always been a fan of the Hubble pictures (although I have to admit that I just recently figured out that Hubble is a satellite and was not actually a probe on its way to these places ; you learn something everyday )

This was released today,

http://hubblesite.org/gallery/album/tours/tour-carina/

It's a movie/presentation of the Carina nebula. It also has little descriptions that even make sense to me

Also happy anniversary Hubble! 17 already....

Enjoy

There's also a nice (and huge) picture here (yesterday's astronomy picture of the day). Personally, I think this makes a fantastic desktop background.
