Sometimes I feel like my brain must look like this on the inside… lots of stars, kind of chaotic and a pretty mess!

I just love a good nebula, especially the kind so many billions of light years away that probably don’t even exist anymore but were just discovered yesterday. A thought that messes with your head a bit, makes last week’s fight over the photocopier at work seem pretty insignificant.

These images are so incredible, aren’t they? Did you know you can sign up for a free account with the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory to access their image archive, videos, podcasts etc? Yep, you can download all sorts for free and explore til your space brain is content. Cool eh.

They also have a great blog and an iPhone/Pad app to get amazing images just like these direct to your little screen… so you won’t miss a single happening in the universe. No-sir-ee!
