Space is full of amazement and chaos, if you know where to look. The wonder of beautiful galaxies in their illuminated dance across the heavens...clouds of gasses bigger than our mind can comprehend...heaven itself? What's the coolest thing you've seen in space? I like the Lagoon Nebula. It portrays a vast pool of peace and wonder to me. The Hubble telescope has taken some amazing images over the years, so check some of them out...they really are the beauty of the heavens. Have an awesome day!Dive Deep!

The second one is another of my favorites. though it isn't a galaxy, it's a nebula. It is named "the butterfly nebula", though, it's official scientific name is NGC 6302.

i lie everything in this universe. but the coolest things i've seen through the telescope are our own saturn and jupiter with its moons. haven't seen anything else except a few star constellations. but they were too far away.

The coolest thing I have ever been able to observe for myself was saturn, complete with rings, I was lucky enough to catch it on my first time with the rings tipped towards us. I was hooked on astronomy ever since. I don't own a telescope myself, REALLy wish I did. TO me one of the most stunning things is "the eye of god" Nebula. It is pretty distinct in it's apearence. I also saw a GREAT photo taken by an amature of a quasar in a nebula (the eagle nebula maybe?), you could even make out the jet of gas streaming from it. even in black and white it was amazing. clear skies to you!
