Hot Gas Bubble in Constellation Ursa Major
"A lumpy bubble of hot gas rises from a cauldron of glowing matter in a distant galaxy, as seen by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Astronomers suspect the bubble is being blown by 'winds' or high-speed streams of particles, released during a burst of star formation. The bubble's lumpy surface has four columns of gaseous filaments towering above the galaxy's disc. The filaments whirl around in a vortex and are expelled into space. Eventually, this gas will rain down on the disc and may collide with gas clouds, compress them and form a new generation of stars. Theoretical models indicate the bubble formed when winds from hot stars mixed with small bubbles of hot gas from supernova explosions. Radio telescope observations indicate those processes are still active. Eventually, the hot stars will die, and the bubble's energy source will fade away. The images, taken in 1998, show glowing gas as red and starlight as blue/green." - Official NASA website. Incredible shot, almost looks as if the universe is ripping open.

Frosted Trees
Though the air temp is -15 degrees F the water is still flowing over the dam. It kicks up a mist that drifts down across the trees freezing on the barren branches. As the sun bursts through the trees on the far side of the pond it catches the coating and sets it aglow. The brilliant contrast against the clear blue sky is a glory to behold. Usually a favorite spot for local fisherfolk the persistent snow fall has blanketed their paths and only faint suggestions exist in the unbroken snow.
