Into The Galaxy

Does anyone else spend as much time on the NASA website as I do? Probably not. Anyway, the universe throws out some amazing shapes and colours, and being a science fiction nerd I think these images are just insanely beautiful. The best part is that they weren't developed via photoshop or digital manipulation- these are pictures of the real thing. If you visit the site there is a whole archive of images from their intergalactic adventures including neon light, clouds of gas, gamma rays and, of course, 'big bang' type explosions.
