Post by: Chris Kern on April 29, 2021, 08:15:13 pm

Albeit one from 10K years ago, captured by the Hubble space telescope (https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2021/hubble-captures-giant-star-on-the-edge-of-destruction).

Wow.  That's better than The Eye of Sauron. :)

Wait'll next year when the JWST launches.

Dear me! Blown highlights in the center. Not the best of photos.  ;)

Better go back and plant another seed, and wait another 10K years for it to ripen.   ;)

Eric,
Probably you can, but the sticker shock will humble you.  ;)
