Here's an interesting story about how scientists are re-evaluating the Eagle Nebula. This is the nebula in that really amazing picture the Hubble took a few years back. Turns out it may not be much of a stellar nursery after all. It's still pretty to look at.
The site took a long time to load for me, so patience may be needed.
I still think it is one of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen.
