Space Exploration ~ A Galaxy Leap! Logo Copyright 2004 Bill Bramble Galaxyleap.org Galaxyleap.com The Astounding Photo Of The Cone Nebula! An Early Discovery After Hubbles' New Lens Was Installed!
NGC4622...Why Another Spiral Galaxy? Well This Galaxy Is Actually Rotating Backwards! The Stellar Spiral Arms Are Leading The Rotation And NOT Trailing Arms As They Appear To Be! This Is Thought To Have Occured Due To A Collision With Another Galaxy!
Hoag's Object; Strange Galaxy! Hubble Caught Art Hoag's Discovery In 2001! The Outside Ring Has All Bright Blue Stars! In The Center Lies A Group Of Redder Stars, Likely Older Stars! And In Between?...Darkness! One Galaxy or Two?
Nova Cygni-1992, A White Dwarf Star Toward The Constellation Cygnus Blew Off It's Outer Layers
AeArigae, A Star, Appears To Be On Fire With Billowing Smoke, Is Actually Interstellar Hydrogen! Smoke-like Dark Filaments Of Carbon Rich Dust Grains! AeArigae Is Also Known As A Runaway Star! Ejected From The Orion Nebula 2.7 Million Years Ago!
Heroes Forgotten. Heroes Ignored. Here They Are!

Earth?...No. Venus!Though Similar In Size & Composition Venus Has No Ocean! The Clouds Trap Heat From The Sun Reflecting So Much Light It's The Brightest Planet In The Sky! It's Day Is Longer Than It's Year! Rotating Slowly Opposite Of It's Rotation Around The Sun! X-Ray View Was Able To See Beneath The Thick Cloud Area In This False Color Image!
