Eagle
Nebula (M16) Gaseous Pillars, Star-Birth Clouds, HST - WFPC2.
Embryonic
Stars Emerge From Interstellar "EGGS"
Eerie,
dramatic new pictures from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope show newborn stars
emerging from "eggs" -- not the barnyard variety -- but
rather
dense, compact pockets of interstellar gas called evaporating gaseous globules
(EGGs). Hubble found the "EGGs," appropriately enough, in the Eagle nebula,
a nearby star-forming region 7,000 light-years away in the constellation
Serpens.

Shiva
- Lord of the Dance
of
the creation and destruction of the universe.
"In
the symbolism of Shiva's Cosmic Dance is hidden a deep understanding of
how our universe works, from the tiny atom to inconceivable immense intergalactic
spaces. Shiva's unending dance of creation, preservation and destruction
is art, science and religion merged as one. When we behold His dance, the
world is seen as it truly is - sacred. Every happening within it is His
divine will."
From
"Shiva's Cosmic Dance: An Introduction to the World's Most Ancient Religion,
Saivite Hinduism." |
