A cup full of galaxy. Drink it up!

"this geyser looks so cosmic." IS THIS REAL?! Amazing!

"This cluster is called Pismis. It looks like a soft explosion of lush warmth." I would go Major Tom for this.

Eclipse on the beach. Could this picture be any cooler? I doubt it.

According to NASA, the dust sculptures of the Eagle Nebula are evaporating. Say it ain't so!

Supernovas look like lightwriting. So pretty.

This stunning starscape by Thomas J. Avery is pretty much breath-taking.

This stunning long-exposure by Dan Heller was taken atop Kilimanjaro. My god, it's full of stars!

This cluster is called Pismis. Yeah, I laughed.

Twisters in the Lagoon Nebula, captured by the Hubble telescope. Gorgeous!

Boomerang nebula! It's coming for ya. (Just kidding, that's terrifying.)

Two galaxies in a dance! Cosmic waltz, anyone?

The Lagoon Nebula...looks like a firework mid-burst! Photo by Nick Bernier.

Eagle Nebula. Brag alert: my BFF from school, her dad took this photo from the Hubble! #nerdgasm

The Antares, taken by Nick Bernier. Can you believe these are real photos? Boggles my mind.

Chris Vedeler's capture of the Orion nebula is nothing short of stunning. Those colors!

M57. Anyone else think this should be called the Eye of Sauron? "I SEEEEEE YOUUUUU."

The Perseus double cluster. Heaven, I found you!

I know it's a truly nerdy thing to say, but Vega is my very favorite star. LOVE this photograph!

M16 from the Hubble. AMAZING.
