    The Cartwheel galaxy is a pretty neat shot too.

    Would you believe it's the Great Red Spot (white because it is reflecting sunlight).

    I'd believe anything you said mate, unless we blow ourselves to Kingdom Come the next 25/50 years will be interesting with regards the Universe.

    I’m not in to all the space stuff but I am fascinated by the massive sizes,measurements,distances etc.

    To realise how massive Jupiter is,that little white swirling thing you asked about would be able to swallow up our earth.

    The above is difficult to even try and imagine.
    At 74 years old I've seen and been part of some great things during my time, massive change in popular music, fashion, the pill and many other things but what this telescope can pick up and ping back to earth will put what we experienced into the shade.

    "Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space."
