>Hard to believe such things actually exist. Incredible beauty and scale
Hey, you can see it
with your naked eyes! If you
use binoculars,
it can look cool, too.
Not like the time-lapse stuff, but
some see it like this:

And just think, all this and billions more like it all came about when "nothing" blew up and became energy and matter. You might say, "magic without a magician". Or maybe there is a God.

Sorta puts our political arguments into some perspective, not to mention the subjects of Earth, humankind and the solar system. Then to realize that our galaxy and that of Andromeda are only two of billions of galaxies. Go see "Serenity" for some space opera entertainment. It temporarily takes one's mind off our general insignificance.

What does this have to do with Eliot Spitzer? :^D

Andromeda is moving toward our galaxy, I believe, and will some day crash right into us.

You want to really put it into perspective?
He who created all this was put to death on a cross so that you may live.

You know, if you took all the laughs Bob Hope has gotten and laid them all end to end, they would stretch out to infinity and fill up the black hole of space.
Makes you feel small somehow doesn't it?

Great. And I was going to travel to Yellowstone next year.

Seeing pictures like this prove to me one thing.. There is no way in heck that we are the only intelligent species and Earth is the only habitable planet in this universe...
