Best APOD Ever!



Love, love, love this picture from Astronomony Picture of the Day. Not only is it gorgeous, but it's red. What more could I want?

A cool name perhaps. This close up of a star-forming region has the unfortunate name of IC 1396 H-Alpha. I mean, that's no fun.


A least this little guy has an awesome name, Horsehead Nebula. Now that's what I'm talking about:



I think the reason I like these pictures is because it's like looking at a work of art... straight from God's canvas.

Astronomy is cool. Ian's Dad has a HUGE telescope, about the size of R2-D2(: He likes to show us the stars whenever we go visit.

I wish I could float around in outer space and see all these things in real life.

Those are beautiful pictures. So majestic (sp?) I am glad I am far away from them though...they look like they would hurt:)
