Some of these amazing space pics seem to have a supernatural aura about them, especially the very last one.

The beauty is wonderful, the vastness is breathtaking, and each one is "REAL".

It's neat how some of these stars and such may not even exist anymore but they can be observed for a very long time after. I want a powerful telescope.

Suppose a million years ago something devastating happened to the stars, and now a million years later, the stars go black.

I like looking at a clear night sky.

Get away into the countryside near where I live, away from the street lights and look through a pair of binoculars. Millions more stars become visible.

Mind you, standing in the dark looking through binoculars has gotten me arrested 3 times.

Eventually that will supposedly happen in the very distant future (billions of years though) as stars burn up their last remaining reserves of fuel and there's just nothing else available to birth new stars. It was well documented on a TV series The Universe I think.

So supposedly even the universe that we know of will die, but who's to say we're not just a part of a multiverse (mentioning it out of scientific interest, not religious). There's still allot to learn and discover which may very well be beyond human comprehension and abilities.

That's just too funny! "Really I was just looking at the stars!"

Those are fantastic space photos, thanks for the link to find them. I will send them to my pal who is nuts about the space stuff! Do you have any more links along that topic line for us?

I think this is my all time favourite video of Space stuff. Sort of puts us into perspective.

I think I'll watch the Steven Hawkin referral ones later when I have just woken up and had my first cup of coffee and morning duties.

There's quite a few videos on there I want to watch, so I've fired up FF and DownloadHelper.
