Astonomy

and my favourite is this:

called NGC 3606...love the brilliant blue stars against the gold gas clouds

wow that is amazing

Have you been to the planetarium at the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry?

Here's a bit of info -

Basically if you cant get to look at the stars through a super high power telescope, they bring them down to you 🙂 I went last year and it was fantastic!

Space always amazes me. Always has ever since I was a kid.

Awesome pictures there.

heh... with a name like yours I'm suddenly not at all surprised 😉

I love space, I used to live in the country where on a clear night you could thousands of stars, it was absolutely breathtaking!
Sadly now I live in the city and due to light polution I cant see as many or see them as clearly 🙁

i like this one,

the hourglass nebula. looks like an eye in the middle

Would be hella mindblowing if that was like, the eye of God. 😛

I've always had an interest in Quantum Physics, theories on how the universe came to be and such. Read a few really good books on it, I'll get you the names of them, they were TRULY mind blowing.

Same here with regards to the light pollution.........and noise pollution......and actual tangible pollution haha.

Actually my name isn't based on the star system, but it's one of the reasons.

Umm cool, I might take the kids there.

it is, the only problem I had was with Ma Baylin falling asleep and snoring. It quite warm and very dark inside and your sat back reclined on soft comfy seats... 😖leep:

it really is quite good though 🙂

Hey....It's the Harvest moon tonight.....http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2000/ast11sep_2.htm
