The above photos are extremely beautiful photographs of the heavens. They do not represent all the best photos, but they do represent some of the best. It is hard to believe how beautiful space and the universe can be. We also have to keep in mind that some of the things we are looking at are so huge that they are on the verge of our comprehension. It could be millions of years before we acquire the technology, if we ever do, to cross a galaxy the size of our own. When you look at these galaxies you see beautiful pin wheels in some cases, but you forget how immense they are.

Imagine how beautiful the photos will be when they replace the Hubble telescope with something much larger.
