Hubble Sees Beyond the Moon

I was on Twitter the other day and someone asked a question looking for a space-themed answer. Because I was curious, I took to Google and started looking around. I stumbled upon NASA's site with their interactive option to see what the Hubble saw on your birthday (not necessarily on your birth year!)

It's SO COOL. I forget to appreciate the sky so I decided to make sure I shared my appreciation via a blog post (because what else can I do really?). There have been so many facts said to me about the sky, many stressful nights where I relax under the stars, and days where I literally danced in the rain. Nevertheless, I'm human, and I've let materialism and just the business of life take my attention away from the glory that is this universe.

Out of curiosity, I looked up the images of my family and friends' birthdays turning a little green at some of the ethereal images because my own birthday sky looked like a black photo with a smudge. Not to sound ungrateful, and undo all my previous words. but seriously it was a smudge. It’s okay though because it’s a reminder that their is beauty even in the most subtle of miracles. My favorite image has yet to be determined because I ended up falling into a black hole (pun intended) of images, downloading several zip files of Hubble's snapshots.

Pictures don't even cover half of the amazing images NASA has. I'm newly obessed with the sky and want everyone to just stare at them with me. Mostly they make me really want to make a mood-board of skies and write a dramatic galaxy-themed story. (All sci-fi I've read and watched has grossly ignored these kinds of images and I just can't fathom HOW.)

Maybe my next writing project will be a sky themed romance?
