Oh, WOW!!! What a fabulous picture. I'd love to get a copy and frame it. Do you know if they're available, for sale? Didn't see anything at the site about it.

No, I couldn't find anything about getting copies either, probably because the pictures are copyrighted by different people. You can download copies for your own use by just clicking on the picture or by right clicking on it and choosing from the menu.

freespirit, Try this site http://www.cfht.hawaii.edu/HawaiianStarlight/English/What_Is_HawaiianStarlight.html they took the original picture. On this site you can buy posters and calendars of their photos taken in 2000 and 2001. Perhaps you can get in touch with them. Good luck!

Thank you, Noreen. I will check it out. I've seen a few spectacular space photos that I'd love to have on the wall. This one was great because I'm crazy about pink

I wish they would explain just a tad more. I know the pics are color enhanced but what is each color for? On the one they did the other day of Venus they explained what the light colors were but not the dark spots. I don't want a big technical explanation either. Just tell me the red is reflected and the blue is refracted or whatever. I hate having to make up my own explanations.




I'd rather regret what I did than what I didn't.

Are they all color enhanced? I thought some of the nebula pics were really those colors.

I don't know for sure about the enhancements but I know some of them are. That is why I wish they would explain a little more. But that link has for sure gone into my favorites.

If I won the big lottery I would use it to go to the space platform. I really wish I could do that. Being in space has to be "awesome"!!

Yes that is a sweet picture. It must be such a cool thing to be up in space.
