i can get so happy from looking at these things. I don’t know why. It gives me a strange happyness inside. Plus a lot of awe. Feel inspired :smile: This is all around us!

Wow. The first one is the best by far. Easy to forget that stuff like that is out there right now, as we speak! :cool_laugh:

Anybody have links to other sites featuring this kind of thing? Probably easy to search for but are there some better than others?

Great pics!! :thumbs:

I don’t know if you’re looking for this, but there’s one Awesome photo which kept me staring at it for hours. It’s the one Voyager I took from the solar system when it was on the brink of leaving it. You just see this huge nothingness surrounding a tiny tiny lightblue spot (only 0.12 pixels wide!), bathing in the middle of a sun ray reflected in the Voyager’s camera… If you like, I’ll search for the link :smile: I think Carl Sagan once used this image to give another one of his deep speeches.

EDIT: I actually posted this before and before

:smile:

I’ve been searching a bit and I came up with a top 100 space photos. Awesome stuff!

Many more great photos at the Hubble Heritage Gallery.

Astronomy Picture of the Day has been set as my start page for years. A great photo for inspiration every day :content:

How is there a picture of black hole at the center of the galaxy if light supposedly doesn’t escape a black hole and it’s all just theoretical?

Nice pictures though.

The picture only shows matter swirling around the black hole before entering it.

good photos pasQuale :ok:

Truly beautiful and amazing pics! :happy:
