Press Release: Spitzer Captures Cosmic Mountains of Creation

NASA har netop frigivet et billede kaldet “Cosmic Mountains of Creation”. Billedet er taget af NASAs “Spitzer Space Telescope“.

Billedet viser et område med kosmisk støv, hvor der foregår stjerne dannelse. Det er et utroligt imponerende billede.

Det minder meget om “Pillars of Creation“, som Hubble tog for nogle år siden.

Is the PowerBook an “altar”?

PowerBook screen with Apple logo shining throughThe PowerBook, and especially the newest version from January 2005, looks like an altar to the Mighty Apple.

This MUST be by design, or am I seeing things?
