Pictures like this almost make me cry. It's so hard to concieve...the avarage person will looks at these and go "Ah, that's very pretty." and think nothing else of it. You're staring into infinite possibilty. You're staring at billions of civilizations and creatures in one shot. Endless history, love and light. Holy shit, it's mind blowing!!!
Look at them again, and try and concieve what you're actually looking at!!
It makes me sad though...there's a whole COLLASAL Universe to experience, but I'm stuck in the fucking playpen still! haha

very well said soglad and i just love the way you guys imagine and put it.
yes indeed, ive shown this to my friends and they were like "wow looks nice" thtz it. many dont think about the possibilities not even in our solar system they just dont want to believe it.

but it kinda weird tho,

I was on a beach at 3am with my good friend back in Dublin one morning, and we both saw lines connecting the stars. It was like looking at the constelations drawn out in textbooks! Stars are not NORMALLY connected by lines! I since believe that this was a line in directed energy to other solar systems, for what, I don't know.

The external Universe in my opinion is simply a reflection of our own collective consciousness. Its the reflection of what is inside of us. When our Universe changes, it means it is us that is changing
It only demonstrates how incredible we are :cool:

If we can break the Matrix Control System that prevents from going to Space. We can travel the universe, the universe will evolve once Earth moves to the 4th density.

All the stars are connected with a fine white grid, or am I the only one who has seen this?

Well, well, well. Looks like I can be backed up! :D
oh my fuck these pictures are beautiful!
thank you!
think if we could explore these nebulas and star clusters. think of the CREATIVITY that would result in our music, art, dance, poetry, movies, ect. it almost seems unreal..

OH WOW. There is really nothing I love more than looking at pictures from across the universe. They are so breathtaking. I can't even put it into words to express how these photos make me feel. Some days I pray to be abducted and taken to these far away places. I just want to see them with my own eyes, you know? Even in our own solar system. Saturn has got to be one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Thank you for this thread. I just found like 10 new desktops. :D

A Tale of Comet Holmes (http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap071110.html)
Explanation: A beautiful blue ion tail has become visible in deep telescopic images of Comet Holmes. Pointing generally away from the Sun and also planet Earth, the comet's ion tail is seriously foreshortened by our extreme viewing angle. Still, enthusiastic comet watchers have remarked that on the whole, the compact but tentacled appearance suggests a jellyfish or even a cosmic calamari. This stunning view of the comet's greenish coma and blue tail was recorded on November 4 in clear skies near Budapest, Hungary. The colors are caused by molecules in the tenuous gas, like C2 (green) and CO+ (blue), fluorescing in sunlight. In a more recent development, the dramatic inset is a deep image from L'Aquila in central Italy on November 8, showing the ion tail disconnecting from the comet.

Watching Galaxies Grow Old Gracefully
http://www.physorg.com/newman/gfx/news/watchinggala.jpg
Examples of young, teenage and adult galaxies are shown here from left to right. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
In the early 1900s, Edwin Hubble made the startling discovery that our Milky Way galaxy is not alone. It is just one of many galaxies, or "island universes," as Hubble dubbed them, swimming in the sea of space.
Now, a century later, NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer is helping piece together the evolution of these cosmic species. Since its launch in 2003, the mission has surveyed tens of thousands of galaxies in ultraviolet light across nine billion years of time. The results provide new, comprehensive evidence for the "nurture" theory of galaxy evolution, which holds that the galaxies first described by Hubble – the elegant spirals and blob-like ellipticals -- are evolutionarily linked.
According to this "nurture" theory, a typical young galaxy begins life as a spiral that is actively churning out stars. Over time, the spiral might merge with another spiral or perhaps an irregular-shaped galaxy, before kicking out a few more bursts of newly minted stars. Eventually, the galaxy slows down its production of stars and settles into later life as an elliptical.
"Our data confirm that all galaxies begin life forming stars," said Chris Martin, the principal investigator for the Galaxy Evolution Explorer at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif. "Then through a combination of mergers, fuel exhaustion and perhaps suppression by black holes, the galaxies eventually stop producing stars."
When astronomers talk about galaxies today, they tend to refer to them by their color, either blue or red, instead of by their shape. Most blue galaxies are smaller spirals or irregulars, and most red galaxies are larger ellipticals, though there are some exceptions.
Why color-code the galaxies? Their color indicates how actively they are making new stars. Younger stars shine in ultraviolet or blue light, so galaxies that appear blue are busily producing stars. Older stars emit infrared or red light, so galaxies that look red have shut down their star-making factories. Roughly half of all galaxies are blue and half are red.
Scientists have long postulated that blue galaxies grow up to become red. They proposed that something happens to the blue galaxies to cause them to run out of star-making material, or gas, and mature into the passive red ones. For this "nurture" theory to be true, there should be a population of "teenage" galaxies in the process of transitioning from blue to red, or young to old. But such a cosmic metamorphosis should take billions of years. How can astronomers, with a significantly shorter lifespan, study a process that takes that long?
One solution is to look at lots and lots of galaxies. Imagine a hypothetical alien trying to figure out how and if humans age from only a handful of snapshots showing people of different ages. The aliens might assume that little people grow into big ones, but they could better piece together the life of a typical human if they could look through boxes and boxes of photographs.
The Galaxy Evolution Explorer was designed to provide astronomers with just such a massive portfolio of galaxies. Its troves of data have allowed scientists to find a significant number of teenage galaxies – and thus proof that youthful spiral, or blue, galaxies will eventually grow up to become the elderly elliptical, or red, galaxies.
"The nurture theory of galaxy evolution predicted that there would be galaxies in transition," said Martin. "Finding these galaxies required ultraviolet light, because they really stand out at this wavelength. And because they are rare, we had to look at many. The Galaxy Evolution Explorer allowed us to do this."
Visible-light data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey also helped to establish the age of the teenage galaxies and the rates at which they are running out of star-making fuel. These findings suggest that some of the young galaxies are ripening into old age quickly, while others are leisurely strolling into their golden years.
Evidence for the "nurture" theory of galaxy evolution can be found in a report in the Astrophysical Journal. Martin is the lead author.

The Clear Sky Zen Group
Zen Practice in Brief http://www.clearskyzen.org/zafu.gif
Zazen (Zen sitting meditation) and kinhin (walking meditation) teach one to become intimate with oneself, to be truly oneself, moment after moment. As one's mind becomes calm and clear through practice, one becomes increasingly attentive to the present moment just as it is, and open to all of life, seeing reality directly with compassion. Zen is a lifetime practice of letting go of the ego, in seated and walking meditation, and especially in everyday life.
Dogen Zenji (1200-1254), founder of the Soto School of Zen in Japan, wrote:
To study the Buddha Way is to study oneself.
To study oneself is to forget oneself.
To forget oneself is to be enlightened by the ten thousand dharmas.
To be enlightened by the ten thousand dharmas is to be freed from one's body and mind, and those of others.
No trace of enlightenment remains and this traceless enlightenment is continued forever.
(Shobogenzo Genjokoan)
http://www.clearskyzen.org/circle.gif This Dharma is amply present in every person, but unless one practices, it isn't manifest; unless there is realization, it isn't attained.
