I never cease to be amazed by the images produced by the Hubble Space Telescope. It's like having a camera mounted 380 miles above the earth peering out into space.
This week's image of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1672 shows clusters of hot young blue stars along the spirals and the center bar area of new star generation. It is an extraordinary image of an object that is 60 million light-years away. What do you think? Is it out of this world or would you have chosen another image?
See the rest of the images at Pictures of the Week.

I am totally disgusted by AOL and anyone else associated with pictures of the week for indicating that the slaughter of seals in Canada is worthy of being a "good picture". It has caused me to join PETA and become a non violent member in support of humane treatment of animals. You should be ashamed you are people of low moral calibre.
I think the Hubble photographs are stunning and get way too little public display. Kudos to you for picking this "out of this world shot."
