Astro Anarchy gets published, again...

SPACE PICTURE OF THE WEEK, second in row...

National Geographic published my picture of Simeis 147, the "Expansive Nebula", as one of the Space pictures of the Week, Today 24.02. Actually this is a second one in two weeks, I'm kind of shocked... 

Here is the link to a National Georaphic news:
