Very cool pic of the two suns.
The Universe is indeed a strange and awesome place and probably full of other surprises.

Cool

Nice photo.

I am glad we are finding more planets around stars each day, but still can't wait to hear about Earth-like planets around a star.

Wow - that looks like something out of a lava lamp. Truly a stunning image.

On a related note, the Kepler spacecraft whose mission it is to find Earth-like extrasolar planets will be launching next February. If you would like to send a little piece of yourself into space with the Kepler, you can register your name and a personal message to be recorded onto a DVD that will be placed on board.

Here's the website to register your name and message:

Hmmm, hope I didn't just sign myself up for interplanetary spam... Confused
