My name is Spacespider. And I hate space! LOL why do you even bother? (you do know that giant space cats are a very rare phenomenon)

"Unreal, amazing and breath taking"-ain't that the truth. Great post.

Most beautiful. excellent pictures really thrilling to see.

ETA: this was a perfect distraction from all the Ebola threads.

It's amazing to see what is really out there beyond what we can see with the naked eye. Awesome pictures.

I love threads like this. It's always sobering to see how small and insignificant we really are in the grand scheme of things. All of the collective trauma we experience as humans, all the wars ever fought, all of the plagues ever battled. All occurring on an unremarkable little speck of dirt and water. The universe is so grand, it's almost a religious experience to look at these photos.

Its due to this very reason that the photos of Earth may be the most profound of all... The old saying "It's a small world after all" never sounded more true..

What wonderful pictures, many thanks. One thing puzzles me, if everything in the universe started expanding from one point, why is it galaxies are colliding?

a reply to: pikestaff

The answer lies in Gravity. The expansion of the universe is happening, yes. However, gravitational forces between Galaxies are often strong enough that two galaxies close enough together will eventually start to collide. In fact, we're on a collision course with our nearest galactic neighbor, Andromeda.

There is much talk that we are actually in the Andromeda galaxy, and are colliding with the Milky Way!

I hope for the day I can spend eternity among the stars.

Thanks for one of the best threads on ATS.

YW, and I think we can, as humans, at the very least astrally travel to the stars or bi-locate during an OBE...These abilities are built into us...trouble is learning to control them...
