Breathtaking, Bewildering Beauty

The cosmos; a place full of mystery which man has appreciated and integrated into our world since the beginning of time. Here are some incredible pictures sourced from the web gallery of NASA. 




This image shows an incredibly rare occurance. It may look like a collision of cosmos; however it is simply a chance alignment between galaxies from our perspective here on Earth; although the galaxies appear to be colliding, they are actually tens of millions of light years apart.



The Veil Nebula is one of the largest and most mesmerising remnants of a Supernova in the sky. A Supernova is an explosion; a spectacular death of a star. 



This image depicts the Great Globular cluster in Hercules, one of the brightest star clusters in the Northern Sky.
