A new image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope reveals nearly 2,300 stars with planet-forming disks in the Orion cloud complex, a collection of turbulent star-forming clouds that includes the well-known Orion nebula.

The Orion cloud complex is one of the most well known astronomical areas and is full of mind boggling statistics. This giant ‘nursery’ creates and nurtures thousands of star systems, it occupies roughly 1,440 trillion cubic miles of space and this new image you see here shows events that happened around the time that ancient Rome was sacked by the Visigoths.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked its eye.
But I think I will have seen everything
When I see an elephant fly.
