Hubble mosaic image of the Sombrero galaxy obtained October 3, 2003, shows stars in a pancake-shaped disk along with a glowing central bulge of stars. The Hubble team used their advanced camera to take six pictures of the galaxy and then stitched them together to make the final composite image.

Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have obtained images of the strikingly unusual planetary nebula, NGC 6751. Glowing in the constellation Aquila like a giant eye, the nebula is a cloud of gas ejected several thousand years ago from the hot star visible in its center.

This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image captures the chaotic activity atop a three-light-year-tall pillar of gas and dust that is being eaten away by the brilliant light from nearby bright stars. This turbulent cosmic pinnacle lies within a tempestuous stellar nursery called the Carina Nebula, located 7,500 light-years away from Earth in the southern constellation Carina.

Arthur C Clarke in his Childhood's End uses a red dwarf star in the Carina constellation as the home planet of the Overlords. Quite the tale.

Have you ever seen this guy before? Nick Pitera~he has over 100 videos on YouTube; he sings all the parts including male and female!
This one is "I See the Light" from the movie Tangled. At about 1:58, he starts singing both parts. It's really amazing to me.
He does a medley of Phantom and Les Miserables that are great.

That was impressive! (I had this open in a separate window while moderating other posts, so... could only hear and not see--yeah, had me convinced that it was both male and female. Fantastic...)
