Great post! This is why I love blogging. I’ve been following your blog for a while now and would like to thank you for providing such great content. The pictures are beautiful also. I love looking at space photography!
I’m optimistic that the projects like Herschel telescope will improve the modern understanding of celestial objects. Therefore we need to contribute to the science and let the revolution happen in our life time.

These images are great such a shame that we will never get to see it.
I love space imagery like this very nice.
Wonderful photos. If more photos shown are like this, more and more people will love the nature and will be challenge to embrace photography. I just so love the images.

These are some amazing photos, thanks! It’s strange to think we are all living on a giant rock that is floating around in space!
