[i]It’s back! After a long hiatus, we’re bringing back our weekly test of your visual knowledge of the cosmos, the [b]Where In The Universe (WITU) Challenge[/b]. If you’re new to UT, or in case you’ve forgotten, here’s the drill: take a look at this image and see if you can determine where in the Universe this image depicts. Post your guesses in the comments section, and check back on later at this same post to find the answer. To make this challenge fun for everyone, please don’t include links or extensive explanations with your answer. Good luck![/i]

Yeah, i know. I was just pulling your wing a little. :mrgreen:

beyond, there are space images I like, and then space images I really, really like! When I go [i]oooooooh![/i], it's an image I really, really like!

All I can say is that any regular on Asterisk that can't identify where this image was taken and what spacecraft took it isn't paying attention.

Owlice, have you ever seen a space picture that you didn't like :?:

Oooooh, this is another one I really really like!!!!
