(Main) space
NGC 6559 is a rich colorful tapestry of diverse nebulosity. The glowing red cloud known as NGC 6559 has formed from the same molecular cloud that gave rise to its neighbor the Lagoon Nebula. The region is awash in young stars, many of which are obscured by the ubiquitous dust in the region. Within the nebula complex are several bright blue reflection clouds glowing by way of starlight reflected from innumerable microscopic dust particles enveloping the brighter stars.
Another great astropic from Robert Gendler consisting of more than 20 hours of exposures.

Minds are like parachutes, they function only when open.
I also love these pics. Its always great to see photographic evidence of what lies beyond our atmosphere. Who knew space could be so brilliant and amazing?
