Thank you for the link. I think it has terrific detailed space maps, with an excellent functionality allowing easy zooming for different views. I studied astronomy before, but didn't realize the abundance of educational information available on the internet, as well as how close the star Sirius really is to us in this galaxy. It also allowed me to find a great Hubble image website which is

i just looked at a few videos and pictures of that second site....

one that amazed me is the Eagle Nebula, it seems like just a picture...is that thing really really up?? seems fake in a way because its so beautiful i guess is the only way to describe it, the colours etc.

and thinking about how big space is could keep you going for hours! but how can it be infinate??? and there we go...lol

The Hubble images from the website I mentioned earlier should all be real. I've seen many Hubble pictures and all of them are very colorful and detailed. After checking other sites for Eagle Nebula pictures, I found an exact match here: http://www.noao.edu/image_gallery/images/d6/04086y.jpg

Enjoy,
