APOD3



This is a photo of M81 and M82 in view within the Milky Way 12-million lightyears away. These two galaxys have been struggling between gravity for billions of years, and will result in only one of these two galaxys existing in the next couple billion years. These galaxies are ecompassed by infiniate distant stars and clouds within the huge Milky Way galaxy. I find this photo to be mind blowing in a sense of the galaxy of colors swirling within each other and the amazing glow of each star surrounding them.

I chose this picture of the M2-9 butterfly nebula because I felt it looked really different and interesting. The colors the nebula create are really gorgeous agains the black background of the rest of the universe. I also found the bright star just below the nebula to be very eye catching compared to the other stars visible in the photo. This dying star creates a work of art in the universe that we are amazingly able to capture in space and keep record of, which I personally find to be fascinating.

I picked this photo of The Andes Mountains at night because I found the forest of snow really fascinating and the stars in the sky look so surreal and bright. The different shades of blues and purples reflected in the sky give the stars a gorgeous glow, making it easy to spot constellatoins such as Orion towards the right and the triangulum mid-left of the image.
