I didn't feel like sleeping, so I entertained myself with this little project.

These are the Pillars of Creation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillars_of_creation

I divided the picture so that every square is (roughly) equal to one AU (Astronomical Unit, or the distance from the Earth to the Sun). Since the left-most pillar is about four light-years in length from top to bottom, that means it has a length of 250 AU.

So if I did my job right, there should be 250 little squares there.
