Celestial butterfly.

This photo below was taken by the Hubble space telescope. Looks like a delicate butterfly. 


This year is Man's fiftieth year in space, since Yuri Gagarin orbited the planet in 1961.

It's beautiful, Phillip! I'm always fascinated by photos from the space telescope.
I remember Yuri Gagarin in '61, and, sadly, I remember the dogs before him.
As young teenagers, we were thrilled about the manned flight, and our science teacher assigned us to write a "book" each about "going to the moon" which seemed almost unimaginable then.
Fifty years. Hard to believe.
