Here's The Whirlpool Galaxy M51... see what I mean?





Speaking of space... the Space Shuttle Discovery launched an hour ago. We stood on the shore by the lighthouse watching some dolphins fishing as the bright orange fireball leapt out of the ocean to the south. It streaked toward the heavens leaving a white contrail which caught the rays of the setting sun, morphing into pinks and blues. The booster rockets fell away and the brilliant wonder accelerated into earth orbit and out of our sight. Incredible.

Watching the shuttle lauch is the most amazing experience. I am so glad you got to see it. I was fortunate enough to watch the very first shuttle launch from the shores near Cape Canaveral...it brought tears to my eyes.
