Thank you, I recieved it in an email from SIL, I think it was taken by NASA, I would have to go check, but I loved it:love

AMAZING. Thanks for sharing.

Since we're on the subject, this was one of my favorite pics of all time. It depicts Comet West, which passed by Earth in 1976 and is characterized by 2 distinct tails: one of dust and a blueish one of Iron deposits (I think, dont quote me on that though). Too bad Ill never get to see it....it has an orbit of 558,000 years. I just think the twin tails makes it one of the coolest things in the night sky

And yes, this is the comet that my screenname on AIM refers to :magwink

Cool pics!

Josh, it's so funny that you should mention Comet West as your screen name ... just yesterday it I was thinking, "Why the hell is Josh's name ComeWest (no t)? There's gotta be an interesting story behind that ..." :rofl OK, that seemed a lot more funny when I was just thinking about it to myself ...
