2. I think that star's just showing off

Wonder if there will still be enough mass left for the star itself to collapse into a neutron star?

Beautiful image. Thanks for sharing! :hi:

12. I have a very large framed print of Deep Field South from the Hubble

I usually can't resist staring at for a few minutes it at least once a week. It is one of my favorite wall hangings

14. I know, right?

Every single time I marvel that it was an apparently
"empty" piece of space. It is truly one of the most
important photos Hubble has made.

16. the vastness of the universe is more than a human mind can grasp . . .

but to believe that we are the only intelligent life in a seemingly infinite universe is absurd . . . gotta be others out there, and just contemplating how many different civilizations may exist and what they may be like just baffles my mediocre human brain . . .
