perhaps the scientists haven't woken up yet, or will be waiting for night fall.

Very pretty, but rushing to get off for work there will be limited time, this time of day. Saw the first 5 seconds though.

In my younger days I would have been entranced gazing at these after a few good tokes Fantastic images.

I'm always in awe of the imensity of the universe .

I was watching a programme the other day about the universe .

I was aware of clusters and super clusters of galaxies , but was astonished to learn that there are even bigger structures out there ; known as FILAMENTS which are groups of super clusters complexies .

And now i've just read that in 2006, scientists announced the discovery of three filaments aligned to form one of the largest structures known to humanity .

I'm truly in AWE
Yes i'm truly AGOG

//Yes i'm truly AGOG //

AGOG - Where did that come from ?

[naomi24]

Baz, Agog. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=agog

Em, I looked at a bit this morning, but didn't have time to finish it.

[Bazile]

naomi - that's my point - agog does not describe amazement / astonishment

[naomi24]

Baz, ha ha! No it doesn't - but it is defined as 'in a state of imagination', so that bit could fit - at a stretch of the imagination. ;o)

[emmie]

i think the pictures the best i have ever seen, i am not expert in the sciences, but they have come up with some spectacular light shows.

[emmie]

anyone else take a look, prepare to be amazed...
