This week there was a meteor shower Wednesday Evening around 3 Am, and I was quite excited about getting to see it. However, Atlanta's vast amount of light pollution cut any chance of being able to see the late-night wonder. I was left heartbroken, sleep-deprived (this one is normal, actually) and am now convinced that space itself owes me another shower for my own pleasure.
Even though I was unable to see the shower, I can always see pictures taken of other forms found in the heavens thanks to the Hubble Telescope. All the different forms of galaxies, planets, nebula and any of the other numerous objects the Hubble has managed to capture in its lens over the past few years are awe-inspiring and unlike anything else I have seen. My favorite pictures are probably those of the Nebulae, which have debris and materials in them that cause them to take many different shapes and colors.Whatever images I could post here would do no justice to the massive number of things the gallery of the Hubble has, be sure to take a look!
