We make a living by what we get; but we make a life by what we give.
Amazing image, so clear. I also noted in the background that there are a few galaxies in the distance, quite awe inspiring, a scale hard to comprehend.

My mind just doesn't want to wrap around all those big numbers you gave me Phil! Wow what a treasure you have found to bring to us this time! I am duly impressed. It makes one heck of a desktop as well. Looks really cool with the lights off in the office.
Thanks again for all the work you do to find and clean up and resize these images to bring us pleasure and knowledge of space. You are appreciated ;=)
