A Rose made of Galaxies
“This image of a pair of interacting galaxies called Arp 273 was released to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the launch of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.
The distorted shape of the larger of the two galaxies shows signs of tidal interactions with the smaller of the two. It is thought that the smaller galaxy has actually passed through the larger one.”

I experienced an ecstasy of unity. I not only saw the connectedness, I felt it and experienced it sentiently. The restraints and boundaries of flesh and bone fell away

Space is a very tenuous word… Does it mean Outer Space? Or does it mean Inner Space? Or does it just mean…Space?
I think there is beauty and wonder to be found in both..

Antennae Galaxies - 62 Million light years away..
“I have long thought that anyone who does not regularly - or ever - gaze up and see the wonder and glory of a dark night sky filled with countless stars loses a sense of their fundamental connectedness to the universe.”
Brian Greene

2001: A Space Odyssey - Jupiter and Beyond
THE scene from 2001..
Perhaps the greatest scene in one of the greatest movies ever made, which has accompanied and taken psychonauts on a voyage like no other for years..
Still and always will be, one of my favourite voyages of all time..
There is a reason they called this film “the ultimate trip” when it was released..This is it.

“We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.”
