Colorful Orion
The Great Nebula in Orion is a colorful place. Visible to the unaided eye as a fuzzy patch in the constellation of Orion, this image taken with the Big Throughput Camera shows the Orion Nebula to be a busy neighborhood of young stars, hot gas, and dark dust.

This is the blog of Dr. Beakman, a man/eagle/thing that currently lives in Brisbane, Australia and has no qualifications to make him an actual doctor. This blog is more or less a collection of all the interesting things that he finds out there in cyberspace, that relate to what he daydreams about. The world around him, architecture, design, cities, people, nature, the universe, movies, tv, books, history, love, sex and all those naughty things that are oh so good. Anything he posts/re-blogs is something that he thinks somebody else would like or something that they should know, and that somebody could be you!
