http://www.spacetelescope.org/images/html/opo9901a.html; From the page: "The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured the sharpest view yet of the most famous of all planetary nebulae: the Ring Nebula (M57). In this October 1998 image, the telescope has looked down a barrel of gas cast off by a dying star thousands of years ago. This photo reveals elongated dark clumps of material embedded in the gas at the edge of the nebula; the dying central star floating in a blue haze of hot gas. The nebula is about a light-year in diameter and is located some 2, 000 light-years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Lyra."

TV studios may still milk the old sources of revenue, but the fundamental economic law has been abolished--TV is selling shows to viewers--which, in TV terms, is like saying that the law of gravity is null and void. Everything's up in the air.
