Today's astro-image: the M65 galaxy. I love galaxies - the scale is vast and almost unimaginable like so many things in deep space, but because you can see things like star clusters, you can imagine the scale of things. Amazing.
This sharp view of M65 shows off the galaxy in remarkable detail, with tightly wound spiral arms and dust lanes stretching into a core dominated by the yellowish light from an older population of stars.

Click here for a big-huge image which is just "wow."
The SF Writers Workshop is progressing wonderfully, which is why I'm posting so late. The 1951 Chevy has sold, I got the cashier's check, and I spent a couple of hours of my day (hours I don't really have to spare) working with the buyer, but U-Haul screwed up his reservation so he can't take the car home. I'm going to help him out by storing it until he gets back from his vacation in a couple of weeks, and see if I can get the brakes fixed while he's away. *sigh*
