This shot of a supernova shows the ejecta interacting with the remnants of a gas cloud that was thrown out by the supernova some 20,000 years ago. The red spots will eventually form a complete ring. Another wonderful reason the Hubble was rescued.
Sometimes the whole space thing just overwhelms me. Nice feeling.
