Looks terrifying but stunning at the same time!

Is that the glowing eyes of a black cat I see?

that reminds me, I must hoover behind the sofa this weekend

[burlyshirley1]

I saw that, it took my breath away !

[pastafreak]

It looks like a living,(fire)breathing, being...fearsome and incredible.

Great aren't they. And we thought the Hubble telescope did a great job; we are lucky to live at a time when we can witness such things.

Why is the word "Creation" used by scientists at Nasa? Perhaps it's becoming obvious that this incredible universe wasn't an accident.

Oh for Gods sake, Spungle!

[Tilly2]

That sounds like a Ken Follet novel.

//6,500 light-years from Earth//

What's astounding is the vastness of space

It's difficult to get your head around the fact that light particles leaving the location and travelling at 186000 miles per second has taken 6500 years to reach us here on the earth

Simply mind boggling

Also some of what we are seeing may no longer be actually there

[Old_Geezer]

Accidents can create too.
(Especially if it splits during use.)

and some of the structures seen are light years in size

Spungle, 19:11.

Why does the size of the universe have anything to do with the likelihood of there being a creator?

[Atheist]

I think that Nasa used the term Pillars of Creation because it is an active star-forming area (and it sounds cool!)
