The “Save the Whales” movement of the 1970’s was instrumental in putting a stop to commercial whaling.

The Wonders of the Carina Nebula

“This broad image of the Carina Nebula, a region of massive star formation in the southern skies, was taken in infrared light using the HAWK-I camera on ESO’s Very Large Telescope.
