First!

Hello there visitor!

This blog I'm about to start posting will feature the most amazing, stunning, beautful pictures, videos, arts of our lovely universe.
I'll be adding links that NASA ESA JAXA posts on their somewhat hidden pages for various telescopes, satellites and observatories.
Amateur astronomers' shots taken with home equipment will also be regular visitors.

My posts will most likely be categorised into galaxies, nebulas, the solar system and Earth, although this will probably grow as the collection increases.

If you have a picture you'd like to see here you can send it to me using the contact form.
Please also report dead links using the same message box!

Thank you and enjoy \o/
