A full length shot of Crusader's cropped post of the Stellar Spire, this object is actually a billowing tower of cold gas and dust rising from a stellar nursery called the Eagle Nebula. The soaring tower is 9.5 light-years or about 57 trillion miles high, about twice the distance from our Sun to the next nearest star.

What a glorious view of the majesty in the universe! C. S. Lewis wrote of the stars singing - this is like a symphony!

I regularily visit the Hubble picture gallaries to mavel at the beauty and vastness of the universe. I recommend that all photagraphers do the same.

Beauty is no quality in things themselves. It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them, and each mind perceives a different beauty.
