Discover the Cosmos

I am an avid stargazer and love learning more about our little galaxy we live in. I have two peak experiences under the night sky. One was in Northern BC under the Northern Lights with an amazing array of colors and energy shapes. The other was in Maui on top of an ancient volcano. The Leonids Meteor Shower was at its peak and I was there to observe 50 meteors in about an hour. That was fun! I stumbled upon a site from NASA that has some very cool photos of comets, galaxies and all sorts of wierd stuff in space. Click around for some wonderful space photos and then bow your head and say "I love the internet!". Space pics here.
