You can use a few other services too. I have three free photo hosts for my photos. Photobucket, flickr and imageshack.

Astonishing. Simply astonishing! And to think how many other forms of life MUST live out there...consider the billions of stars in our galaxy, further pushed by the fact this image has thousands upon thousands of galaxies! We are truly worthless.

These are amazing...

Crab Nebula:



I think it was this nebula that was visible in the sky during medieval times, even during the day. Here they have a 3864x3864 pixel version, as well as a 30MB full size version: http://www.spacetelescope.org/images...heic0515a.html

The Hubble deep field photo is simply incomprehenible. You are looking at thousands of galaxies, each of them light years large, located at a distance that defies time, with billions of stars among each of them and an unimagineable number of worlds among them. Despite all this, that photo is just a tiny morsel of the sky

This photo throws my mind in to a blender. I can't stop looking at it. It's endless, which is something my brain cannot fully comprehend. I love it.

I get a very existential feeling looking at these, like nothing matters (in a good way!), or like a huge weight is lifted.
It makes an annoying project at work hanging over me go poof into nothing. It will pass.

Amazing and mind-blowing. It makes me sad in a way, though...traveling the stars like in Star Trek is still so unattainable by our current technology. We are still stuck on this miserable rock of a planet we call Earth.

The fact everything is moving farther apart just makes it worse.

Another thing is it would be good to at least be able to see the planets out there.

this thread would go well with some Carl Sagan videos from Youtube.

Carl Sagan is awe inspiring. I almost cry when I see his Cosmos videos.
