Space butterfly

A COSMIC butterfly stretches its wings in a stunning new picture from the Hubble space telescope.

But the delicate insect is really vast streams of gas racing at over 600,000mph from a dying star.

Its new camera is ten times better - and its digital "film" was built by a British company, e2v Technologies of Chelmsford, Essex.

Another dramatic new shot from Nasa's Hubble family album shows the Cat's Eye nebula - a cloud of gas heated to millions of degrees around another doomed star in the constellation of Draco, the dragon.

Hubble also peered six million light-years beyond our own Milky Way to capture a galaxy of billions of stars in the Great Bear.

Cool!

I think the Hubble pictures are worthier of being called art than most works by modern artists.  :cheersmate:

Nope, it's behind Venus.
