Not Load Testing - Swan Nebula
- Tags:
Consistent with the "storm" theme of photos on our blog, I found this one through checking out web developers to follow on Twitter.
This photo was taken from the Hubble Telescope. It looks more like a cartoon drawing of someone's concept of heaven, but it is real.
My understanding is that the astronomers call this The Perfect Storm, and it is in the Swan Nebula. Amazing the detail they can get in a photo of a formation over 5,000 light years from Earth.
This "storm" has been described as a "bubbly ocean of hydrogen and small amounts of oxygen, sulphur and other elements".
Another fascinating picture from the Hubble. It isn't a storm, so I don't know how I can tie it into this blog, but I like it, so it's here.
