THE (ALMOST) FINAL FRONTIER

This time around, I decided to hop into a FTL cruiser and see a couple of places in our local cluster of galaxies…

Centaurus A

This is the nearby galaxy Centaurus A. The lovely bright display in the center is a supermassive black hole.

NGC 5307

NGC 5307… it’s the beginning of planets around the star.

This is a young star ejecting matter. This could probably become planets, also.

Jupiter

Finally, swinging back into our own solar system, we fly by Jupiter. Always a favorite.

Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that is something, wearing stripes with plaid comes easy.
– Albert Einstein
