Click on the link to the full res jpg. You can also enlarge it and scroll around.

This picture of a stellar nursery was created from 80 separate pictures taken over 40 days. These stars are only about a million years old, so they're VERY new.

Cool! I had to check, but this is the nebula below Orion's belt, in a group of stars I always though was his sword. Orion's Nebula is visible to the naked eye, and is obviously not a star even with relatively low magnification.

The SDO pics and vids have been on the news this week as well. I love images of the sun so I think I'm gonna like this mission.
