Seen it before. But I never tire of seeing it.

I have seen this several times over the years in APOD. Does anyone remember seeing this in one of the screens on the USS Enterprise bridge in one of the many movies?

This photo started my Grandson on the route to become an astrophysicist.

I am a recent APOD subscriber and have not seen this image before. It is spectacular! Thank you.

I have seen this image many times before, but it is one that is worth seeing again from time to time. Once every year or three certainly won't overload the APOD feed! :ssmile:

Yes, but it's always amazing to see it again. Mind-boggling to think you're looking at a structure TRILLIONS of miles high. Wow.

It's a great picture, but I have seen it several times before. My preference would be for APOD to post unique pictures every day. There are enough cool and inspiring options that I don't think there is any danger of running out of material.

Saw it on a greeting card. It is good to refresh what it is. Thanks for repeated postings inspiring deepening wonder and awe.

How about a link to a golden oldies gallery?

Ive seen it on APOD enough times I can recognize it. But it's always beautiful and amazing.

It bothers me every time i don't see them. :ssmile:
Already done.
Fabulous! Why do we keep using the one with missing pieces?

Yes I have seen it, but that doesn't mean I don't want to see it again!

This was featured as the 2007 February 18 APOD

Yes, but I don't mind as long as there is something new to be discussed.

Yes, this is an iconic image. But since new science can be found in older images using new techniques, this image can still be relevant and informative.

They always had a bunch of Hubble images in there. It was fun to try to identify them.

The image of the Eagle nebula was used as part of the set in Star Trek: Voyager. It was used as a backdrop, located in the "Astrometrics Lab" where Seven of Nine used to hang out.

I'm sort of embarrassed that I remember that.

I'm fairly certain I've seen images of those clouds that look very similar to this one but whether they were the same picture or not is not something I would be sure of.
I have, for example, seen a nebula looking very like that one as a display on the wall of "Voyager's" conference room. Janeway seemed very fond of it.

Yes..and my heart still flips over at the sight! Thanks yet again!

When it was released, I remember thinking it was a desperate bid to get past the embarrassing disaster. And brilliantly done: no one remembers now that Hubble was a worthless heap of scrap not long before this picture was taken.

Yes, most of us have seen it before. But your text and links in the caption are always welcome! They serve as great reminders of the astronomical understanding, and, unlike the *rest of the entire internet* - they are trustworthy! Keep up the good work! :D
