Great images

I know everyone has hubble images, but here is the best of them all and in multiple formats!

Isn't that a little tall for a C'tan?

Love the picture, though. We need more Hubble pictures.

I wonder what it would be like to fly a starship through that?

Probably not very interesting. Depsite being so massive, it's probably not that dense and at worst, IIRC, would be like flying through a thin dust cloud (assuming space was lit up movie style so you could see stuff in the first place sans nebula in the way)

When I think about Hubble I always think about this picture

Hehe. I remember seeing this one the day after I watched Star Trek 6. My first thought: Praxis!

You wouldn't see a thing, unless your eyes are ultra-sensitive to light, as it would be extremely diffuse from close-up. The object you see is light accumulated from material many trillions of kilometres across..
