Astronomy Picture of the Day
I'm always interested in the daily pictures from this site, but on occasion, they just take my breath away. This picture of a star approaching supernova is just amazing. The globular dust and gas clouds around it, look like awful tumours sucking the life from the poor star, although I suppose it's the reverse of that really. The star is pouring its energy into the nebulas, expanding them away from it so they can perhaps form new stars with luck, before the awful certainty of entropy that awaits us all......NURSE, MORE PILLS, MORE VOLTAGE...
