Wonderful picture of the Sun, Kenny! That is a really excellent site for astronomy pictures, I have been there quite often in the past. Thanks for posting about it. Here is an image from May 1st; it is labelled "A Pulsar's Hand." The pulsar is the bright white part in the middle (or palm) and the surrounding hand looking part is a nebulous formation.

Kenny. If you look in the archives at the site there are many magical and stunning images (you may already know of this). We are so lucky to have access to these visual treasures!

So much beauty in so many forms... true splendor.
