One in a long series of songs bridging the two strands of my university education: Astrophysics and Music. This little spaceship originally had vocals, but I took them out for this post because I think that it works better this way. Check out The Stars, My Destination and We Don't Speak Their Language to check out a couple other astrophysically themed songs.
Each one of those little splotches of color is a whole galaxy of its own. If you point your telescope at any bit of the sky and look at it with a high enough magnification and exposure time, you see thousands of them swimming around in the ether of space like creatures in a drop of water under the lens of a microscope.
Roll over the image to see a magnification of the upper left-hand corner.
