The Carina Nebula - Star Birth in the Extreme:


I'm not even going to bother trying to describe this picture. It's the Hubble Space Telescope's 17th birthday today! (April 24th) This is from HubbleSite

Some pictures of our Universe:

These are all from the European Hubble Space Telescope page's top 100 pictures. Breathtaking, simply breathtaking! There's sooo much beauty in this Universe that we live in. Words can't even attempt to describe it. Pictures don't even do it justice. Enjoy!






















Leonardo da Vinci: Animated Illustrations



This is really cool! Some of Leonardo da Vinci's drawings brought to life through animation, and explanation. This man was a true genius if ever there was such a thing.

..Just a few pictures that I've made..



The Flower of Life


I call these: "Bóveda de la Geometría Sagrada".

Dome of the Geometry Sacred.




What The Sun Is Up To:












(Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope)



(Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph)




These are from SOHO (The Solar and Heliospherice Observatory)
"SOHO is designed to study the internal structure of the Sun, its extensive outer atmosphere and the origin of the solar wind, the stream of highly ionized gas that blows continuously outward through the Solar System.

The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) is helping us understand the interactions between the Sun and the Earth's environment better than has been possible to date. Its legacy may enable scientists to solve some of the most perplexing riddles about the Sun, including the heating of the solar corona, the acceleration of the solar wind, and the physical conditions of the solar interior. It will give solar physicists their first long term, uninterrupted view of the mysterious star that we call the Sun.

That view of the Sun is achieved by operating SOHO from a permanent vantage point 1.5 million kilometers sunward of the Earth in a halo orbit around the L1 Lagrangian point. SOHO was designed to observe the Sun continuously for at least two years. All previous solar observatories have orbited the Earth, from where their observations were periodically interrupted as our planet `eclipsed' the Sun."


SOHO has taken some amazing pictures and video of our sun, check out their "best of" page
