Re: Celestia: The free space simulation that lets you explore our universe.

Finally, I'm home.

The trip around the galaxy was harsh, and I've recieved many scars and scrapes to bring these pictures to you.

Enjoy^_^

As I left my home, I took a minute to look back and take this photograph. As the Earth grew farther away, until it was just a single point in the sky, I wondered if I would ever come back home.


Ah, my first glimpse of an extraterrestrial planet. Many suggest life may have existed here, and some say it still exists. I think it's quite possible, but the evidence is lacking, so I'm sort of on the fence about it.


Callisto is one of the many moons of Jupiter. While a nice sight, it's just a dried up rock, really.


Europa is perhaps my favorite moon orbiting Jupiter. On the surface, all you see is a thick coating of ice, but under it's shell lies vast amounts of water. Scientists think that life might be under that icy crust. NASA is already planning on a future mission to Europa, but it probably won't be happening for a long time.


The Eskimo Nebula. Not much to say about it other than how spectacular it looks.


My favorite object in space, the Boomerang Nebula. I just love how awesome it looks. It's the epitome of beauty. This Nebula is also the coldest object in the known Universe.
