APOD 1.7

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap091017.html
I choose this article because it shows a high quality image of a nebula that creates stars. This nebula is known as M33 or the Triangulum Galaxy and is a spiral galaxy. This nebula is known for forming very massive, but short-lived stars. M33 is one of the largest known star nurseries, spanning over 50,000 light-years long. M33 is 3 million light-years away from earth
