"Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you."
-Fry, from Futurama

The Eagle Nebula

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy offers this defination of the word 'Infinite.' Infinate: Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger than that in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real 'wow, that's big,' time. Infinity is just so big that, by comparison, bigness itself looks really titchy. Gigantic multilplied by colassal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we're trying to get across here."
-Douglas Adams, "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe"

    Astronomy is a remarkable study study the universe. The universe is a vast and uknown place, still waiting to be epxlored. That is what makes astronomy so exciting is that we don't know what will be out there. We don't know what worlds we'll find or strange mysteries we'll come about to try and solve.
