It's so mindblowing to me, how the universe just 'invented' it's own laws as it went along.
The fact that clouds of hydrogen just collapsed, not turning into a dustball, but into a living and breathing star!

And we are the product of that cycle.

Man I love space, it is just so interesting!

[redpie]

Its just so beautiful....
It looks like a gate to heaven
Or a portal to
I just want to...
Touch that huge pearl white

You can see two Orion nebulae,
they probably didn’t realize that they shouldn’t have used the Orion constellation as the back ground, while showing an object located within the Orion constellation.

Sad to know that we are here only for really short time..

I wonder how big the orion nebula's star is before it exploded, probably as large and mass of the R13 star the star with 2 times bigger than the sun but with an extreme amount of mass i guess

[aslaing]

My favorite Nebula is a Guardian of the Galaxy 😂

With new stars and new heavier elements of the Periodic Table being created, all across the universe for 13.8 bn years, *how can we have the audacity to think we are **-unique-** .* Even the math makes that an impossibility.

Edit: Great vid btw

Matter will organize itself everywhere in the universe where possible, and within evolution become conscious. Everything is mixed together. The atoms that now work for one body previously worked for other lives. Everything is part of eternity, which per se cannot have had a beginning.

How Beautiful our universe is. As complex and intricate as it is, how could it randomly put itself together into what it is today? People with thoughts and DNA and emotions just formed out of random chance?
