I forgot how much I love astronomy. *sigh* Yet another thing I kicked ass at yet for some reason stopped taking.

Those pictures, though I've seen some of them before, are beautiful.

I like the picture of the giant gas column that is a light year in length. Only some natural could create something that intense looking...

Got pretty much every one of those pics in 3000 x 2000+ resolution sitting on my hard drive. They're good for backgrounds on dual monitors. You can find em if you hunt around the nasa site, too lazy to find a link right now.

In case anyone was wondering just how much bigger, here's a little graphic I made for when I do planetarium presentations:

Our sun:

And if our sun were as big as the red giant Betelguese:

Space is cool. Oh btw, I made those with screen caps from Celestia. http://www.shatters.net/celestia/index.html
