I like this picture because it makes the two galaxies look really close together. The two galaxies are called M81 and M82. They are 12 million light years away which is very far to a human, but close together compared to other things in space. M82 on the left side of the picture looks like a perfectly formed design.

"Cassiopeia A Light Echoes in Infared"
This is a supernova remnant. Pictures were taken a year apart. Astronomers analyze this and hypothesize that light echos. This picture makes me feel like im looking at some magestical force. These colors in this form aren't really seen in nature on Earth, but maybe other creatues can see things like this.

This is M57: The Ring Nebula. This nebula is composed of layers of a dying star. This picture makes me feel like im looking into one of the eyes of the world. The colors are really beautiful.
