truly utterly breath-taking!

The color is enhanced, I think, but that's ok. Imagine if our natural vision were so acute that we could see these objects without any enhancement. Or if we could directly see and appreciate the broad spectrum beyond our limited range of wavelengths.

Imagine if we could appreciate and process the collective rational intellectual potential which must be inherent in such vast regions of existence. These pictures cause me to beg for understanding of all they represent, let alone be curious as to the fidelity of their rendition in my/our vision of them. Then again, it becomes a zen question to some extent. Those answers hopefully are in us all, if we can find a way to allow ourselves to see them, for if the best among us can summon those questions of self, those questions apply to us all as well.

Where is 'toad when we need him?

Very nice clip.
