I have been talking to someone by email who I have just found out has a first class Honours degree in Astrophysics. Although I love looking at the moon and the stars I know very little about them so I googled Astrophysics and found this, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope:

Did you ever see anything more beautiful and fascinating?
I have also been reading this:

And just LOOK at this, The Crab Nebular, the shattered remnants of a star which exploded as a supernova in 1054AD. It is just SO beautiful and mind-boggling to think about:

I really must make the time to find out more about astronomy.

- I am a clicker training addict and there is no cure - thank goodness!!!
I saw a program on NASA aeons ago that was just photo after photo. Absolutely awesome and impressive. I would so love to be able to paint those or create them in quilts. Just amazing. And so on we go; onward and upwards towards morning. Yay!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe universe is a fascinating place, both above the earth and below. Ironically, some of the deep sea can be so similar to the heavens.
ReplyDeleteIt can all keep you mesmerized for hours.
I worked in a planetarium for a year. Best job ever. I am still filled with wonder more than 20 years later.

ReplyDeleteThank you very much everyone.
ReplyDeletephaedra96, thank you!!!! I've been away for an amazing weekend with a very good friend in Scotland. It took most of last week to get things organised before I went.
