while i've already posted about the wonders of the deep blue sea there is rarely anything more mystical than outer space. there's something so ancient and majestic about the sheer vastness of the skies. stars have been used to predict fortunes, tell epic stories and legends, guide travellers, the skies have been there to house the gods. the less known about outer space, the more mysterious and intriguing. for earth to feel so very insignificant amongst all the other planets, galaxies, stars and moons, it really does seem more improbable than likely that humans could be the only highly evolved lifeforms in the universe. these images are all unbelievably beautiful and would be amazing to see through a telescope. the names in astronomy themselves are beautiful; supernova, nebula, constellation, galaxy, milky way. the more i observe science and the breakdown of its complexities the more i can appreciate how utterly amazing, ingenius and beautiful it all is. these are all taken by the Hubble telescope using various colour technology techniques.
