The 2012 Galactic Alignment as seen by ISS -- Amazing!

Same here its still going on right now.

Now the whole screen has changed are they using a difffernt filter now or something

forgive my ignorance, but does this type of alignment not happen every year at the winter solstice?

how is this one different ?

thanks

I would imagine that would be the inner planets, but it looks like so much more!

All you need to do is look to the sky to see that none of the planets are lined up.

:Red Rectangle Ne:

what is that

The Red Rectangle Nebula, so called because of its red color and unique rectangular shape, is a protoplanetary nebula in the Monoceros constellation. Also known as HD 44179, the nebula was discovered in 1973 during a rocket flight associated with the AFCRL Infrared Sky Survey called Hi Star. The binary system at the center of the nebula was first discovered by Robert Grant Aitken in 1915.
