Woah…

Picture got from http://scienceblogs.com/startswithabang/upload/2011/08/weekend_diversion_aim_for_the/pillars-of-creation.jpeg

This thing. Is beautiful. Like seriously.

Okay, so for those of you who don’t know, these are the pillars of creation. They’re part of the eagle nebula, a massive cloud in the universe that makes stars. See those red dots in the image? Those are stars. Yes. The eagle nebula is that big.

Now, apart from the fact that the picture is absolutely astoundingly beautiful, what’s really amazing about this is that this is literally the birthplace of planets, stars and just about anything else in the universe. Like we were once part of something like this.

So yes. When I first saw this, I was AMAZED. Hope you are too 😀
