Comments on: Season’s Greetings from Hubble http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2006/12/20/seasons-greetings-from-hubble/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic.

The edge-on galaxies trip me up in a busy image like that... are they galaxies, or some oblong structure in the foreground object? Still, all those circles, and that's just the obvious ones! And if there is life on a planet around 1 in 1 trillion stars, there's enough galaxies showing there to suggest there's at least one other planet with life on it somewhere in the circled bits. oas:
