There are more stars than grains of sand on all the beaches of the world, yet people still wonder if life exists elsewhere...... Some other interesting stuff, if you use the labels icon to show the constellations, then find the big dipper. The star Mizar if you zoom in you will actually see 2 stars. This is visible with the naked eye sky at night. The large star is actually a solar system with 5 stars wobbling around each other, the smaller star is actually a binary star system (2 suns). If you'd like to see something equally breathtaking take a look at this It will give you a whole new appreciation of our universe. Here is a high quality version of the image the video talks about. http://zebu.uoregon.edu/hudf/hudf.jpg | ||

I thought they colored the photos in photoshop based on the information they receive. Some pictures are taken using infrared/UV/xray telescopes, and those are false color. Objects in deep space do, however, emit light in the visible spectrum, so some images are natural color. Not sure if these are enhanced or not, but they're definitely in the visible range. | ||

This is very similar to Starry Nights. In some sense his pictures seem to have some more quality to them compared to Starry Nights. But of course you can't turn on the constellations or ask for star names, etc. As for the bulge of the universe, you can't see it if you are too far north on the northern hemisphere. If you are nearer to the equator, you can see it close to the horizon. On the southern hemisphere, it will be visible overhead and is stunning, so I am told.

If you want to know a certain object, I can tell you. But the main things are, apart from the milky way disc, the Small and Large Magellan clouds, Pleades and Andromeda Galaxy. Ooh and one more vimeo galaxy video: http://vimeo.com/4505537 | ||

The only way life could have developed only on this little planet traveling around just one of all those stars, is if God really exists. Otherwise it's impossible | ||
