I`m not impressed with the pictures of outer space seen by the Hubble telescope. I`m rather more impressed what we see inside the human body. Pictures taken from an electron microscope the landscape of a red blood cell, the fertilization of the ovum, a picture of a lung tissue destroyed by cancer, a picture of the brain`s neuronal network, or a photo of the retina of the eye. Why are we so engrossed in looking at the sky at night when what we all see is nothing but, " Twinkle twinkle little star how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high. Like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle twinkle twinkle little star how I wonder what you are."

Hi Rajakrsna,

There's beauty all around, for sure, you've got a great point - we've got some amazing things within our own body - and actually, in nature as well.

I've noticed how much a tree and it's roots looks like a Neuron (nerve cell) :-)

Awesome Mattie, thank you so much for the link!
Going to go and stare at it now

I love the dolphin love nebula, wow! The dolphin is very clear to me. I've always been fascinated by Orion and knowing that that little smudge you can see with the naked eye is really a galaxy (M42)- this very same one!.

When I saw it the dophin was practically like it was leaping off the monitor!

Soooooo nice that we're finally getting a better look at the little points of light in the sky!
