Would you like to help out SETI (Search for Extra- Terrestrial Intelligence)? The government is trying to shut this down because of it's "questionable motives." BUT there is hope! See, they get thousands of gigs of information everyday, and the more computers they can get to decipher it all, the more likely it is that we will find out for sure whether or not we are a lone in the universe.
       If this sounds interesting to you, go to this site, SETI@Home, and download the SETI@Home file. You might be the computer user that gets credit for discovering ET.

     I like to think so at least. So I decided to devote an entire page of space to them. Isn't that nice?  This is the Hale-
Bopp comet that streaked thru the night skies in the winter and spring in '97.
 
 
These are some pix taken from the Hubble Telescope.
<-This is the Eagle nebula. 
This artist's conception shows a black hole emitting X-rays from the center of a distant galaxy.
An X-ray view of the Crab Nebula, at left, shows a swirling ring of cosmic particles that transfers energy from the spinning, pulsating neutron star at the nebula's center. The photo at right provides a wider perspective of the Crab Nebula, with the blue-purple region at the nebula's core corresponding to Chandra's view.
Eta Carinae is the most luminous star known in our galaxy, radiating energy at a rate 5 million times that of our sun. This picture shows the blazing area around the star itself, within a horseshoe-shaped ring. The Hubble Space Telescope's view, at right, shows clouds of stellar material thrown off by the star.
In this image, the Cartwheel Galaxy looks like a wagon wheel in space. A more detailed image of the galaxy’s hub shows bright, comet-like clouds circling at nearly 700,000 mph.
HH 32 is an awesome example of a "Herbig-Haro object," which is formed when young stars eject jets of material back into space. The jets plow into the surrounding nebula, producing strong shock waves that heat the gas and cause it to glow in different colors.
This is one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen. I took this picture down at my Grandparents house in Tucson, AZ.
 
The moon, our closest celestial neighbor.









A star similiar to our sun, except that this one is dying out.
I wish this was a real picture that I had taken.
