This is the inner space dome at the museum I volunteer for. You can look and see galaxies, stars, planets up close. Its super cool. My body can’t handle the rendering!

This is the Eagle Nebula. The box on the right-hand side of the photo articulates the Pillars of Creation, a structure of gas and dust whose highest pillar is about 4 light years across (1 light year is about 587,849,981,000,000,000,000 miles...that's 12 zeroes!). As human beings on a tiny rocky planet such as Earth, we could never possibly fathom how large 4 light years is; even trying makes my brain hurt -.-

The Pillars are so named because nebulae are said to be "star nurseries" and stars are constantly being born in their midst. Another interesting point: this photograph was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995; the Eagle Nebula is 7,000 light years from Earth, which means when you look at this picture, you're looking 7,000 years into the past. You're looking at what the nebula looked like then. For all we know, it could look completely different or not be there at all now.
