This picture is of the Sombrero Galaxy, which has 800 billion suns & 50,000 light years wide. Unbelievable!
One of those rare occassions when we feel proud of being the most intelligent species on the planet!PS: Would the 'God's Eye View' of the universe look like this?
Update: This picture also reminds me of one of the fables I'd read in a Khalil Gibran book:
A fish said to another fish, "Above this sea of ours there is another sea, with creatures swimming in it -- and they live there even as we live here." The fish replied, "Pure fancy! Pure fancy! When you know that everything that leaves our sea by even an inch, and stays out of it, dies. What proof have you of other lives in other seas?"

Moi,
I thought they were computer-generated graphics at first, simply because they're too fantastic to be actual photographs :)
Suramya,
Aren't they so very fascinating?
Parth,
Yes they are! The beauty of the space telescope is that it captures images much clearer than ground telescopes; due to the lack of blurring caused by the atmosphere.

I take it on me for speaking on behalf of the entire human race. You can choose to join us or start your own race. We will met at the finishing live.
Slow and steady wins the race.

Kanishka,
You may be slow alright; dont know about the steady part!!
