What if I dropped dead? The thread has been linked.

Yes it had been linked in a subsequent reply .. calm down, nobody is holding the 'missing link' against you.

We were able to see the 42 magnificent 2008 Hubble photos of our Cosmos in great detail, and marveled at them all :)

And OK, to some of the sarcastic comments about "Photoshop" and "NASA creates nice colors" and such and such smarmy comments ... so what? Have we become so politically cynical that we discard the wonders of God's creation just because its data has been transformed into a visual form which we are able to view on a computer screen? And on that note, isn't what we're doing here just a bunch of 1's and 0's transformed into letters and words which we happen to recognize, as humans?

Just as a point of perspective regarding *reality* vs. our experience of it, an Atom is composed mostly of empty space, so hence a 'solid' isn't really solid at all .. it is mostly empty space, with invisible subatomic forces making up what we might see and feel as being "solid".

NASA's Hubble continues to beam back spectacular photos of our Cosmos, and I thank you, Neverdem, for posting this thread.

I agree with you about "the wonders of God's creation". however I do deplore the fact that at least two "Photoshop creations" (the one on the article's main page and #30) were mixed in with the genuine Hubble images.)

Our Creator's handiwork definitely does not need "Photoshopping" to be spectacularly and awesomely beautiful!
