For the new readers of the blog, I sometimes go slightly off-topic to share my space geek love.

The Hubble telescope is celebrating its 20th birthday this month. Last week, a photo was released of the Carina Nebula, the largest seen star-birth regions in the galaxy. Astronomers have nicknamed it “Mystic Mountain.”

The Universe Today blog shares some information about Carina Nebula:

“‘Mystic Mountain has clouds of gas and dust, that have not only baby stars, but also baby solar systems,’ said John Grunsfeld, Hubble-hugger, repairman and now the Deputy Director of the Space Telescope Science Institute. ‘4.5 billion years ago, this may be what our solar system looked like.’”

I love this stuff and find it fascinating and the photo is breath-taking. There is so much in this Universe — things we probably can’t even imagine.

Have a great weekend everyone. I hope that you get some writing done!

On Monday, I will reveal the two winners of my Blog Anniversary Book Giveaway. Stay tuned.
