Astronomical images - stunning!

Stumbled on these finalists for a photography competition on the subject of night-time sky pics. Absolutely stunning and for me it's always a wonder just trying to comprehend the vast size of the observable universe, let alone the whole universe. Enjoy...

Awesome and beautiful beyond words. Petty human affairs like religion, territory or nationality seem ever so trivial and stupid compared to what's out there...

Perfect, good find.

S.R.L - yeah I saw that this morning - just awesome. I just cannot believe anyone might think humans on earth are the sole repository of intelligence in the universe. If there is a god I don't think he'd make all that stuff we are unlikely to ever see. Seems like a waste?
