Good morning RP. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "Young Star Cluster Trumpler 14 from Hubble." First, full screen viewing is recommended. Two features are worth noting here: the first (left of center) is a suspected planetary system trying to form, but is being destroyed by the stellar winds from Trumpler 14's massive stars. Second is the arc at the bottom left. Some have suggested that this is a supersonic shock wave of a fast star ejected 100,000 years ago from a completely different star cluster. Enjoy.

Good Tuesday morning Maj William W. 'Bill' Price!!! Wow! what a gorgeous sparkling image!!! As per the writeup, "Many cluster stars have formed only in the past 5 million years and are so hot they emit detectable X-rays." It continues to amaze me to no end how vast and how beautiful God's COSMOS is and we are so fortunate in our lifetime to partake of more of it than ever before in human history and we have barely scratched the surface, given all that is in the COSMOS!!! Awesome Post, Bill!!!!
