Also the distances and variety are so vast. I'm seeing things we may never even visit as a species ever. Pretty cool stuff in my opinion, your mileage may vary.

I hate to tell you, but an asteroid did not wipe out the dinosaurs. I believe the latest theory is our government did it while testing for tsunamis, hurricanes, and tornados.

Here's where this second shot was taken the North America Nebula next to the Pelican

The highlighted area is roughly where the shot was taken.

One of my favorite things in the sky.

Unspeakable beauty and unimaginable bedlam can be found together in the Trifid Nebula. Also known as M20, this photogenic nebula is visible with good binoculars towards the constellation of Sagittarius. The energetic processes of star formation create not only the colors but the chaos. The red-glowing gas results from high-energy starlight striking interstellar hydrogen gas. The dark dust filaments that lace M20 were created in the atmospheres of cool giant stars and in the debris from supernovae explosions.

Which bright young stars light up the blue reflection nebula on the right is still being investigated. The light from M20 we see today left perhaps 3,000 years ago, although the exact distance remains unknown. Light takes about 50 years to cross M20.
