They really seem to show off once more before the Hubble space telescope will be decomissioned in 2011. This picture can be found on Hubblesite.org, being the most detailled view of a galaxy ever.. and it’s beautiful, even ;)
Makes a beautiful wallpaper.. *hint* *hint*

To get an idea how detailled the picture is: The original image is 15852 x 12392 pixels resolution, sporting 500MB of data. It features ~1 billion stars. The whole galaxy is expected to contain ~1 trillion stars. The light on the photo has been emitted 25 million years ago. Such things remind me of how small we (our planet) are and how precious our little life is.. not more than 100 years, most of the time ending even earlier.
