My brother used to always ask if was "cogitating" on something when I was quiet. That did not occur very often because I was seldom quiet.
Nowadays, I may cogitate more than I realize.
So, type in the phrase astronomy picture of the day. It should bring you to a site apod.NASA.gov.
Each day, NASA posts a picture, often of the cosmos, with an explanation by a professional astronomer of what you are looking at and how the picture was taken.
There is a tiny little arrow button about halfway down the page which let's you scroll through the archive of pictures.
I think today I saw a star cluster ngc602 just beyond the small Magellanic Cloud. It is breathtaking.
Years ago I took the family to Florida to witness a space shuttle launch. We actually got within the Cape boundaries compliments of Tricia's brother who worked as a NASA engineer. I put the kids on the roof of the van with me and a tripod camera.
When the fuel tanks ignited, the sky lit up, the van shook, the kids cried, the thunderous roar overtook us. My mouth fell open, I forgot about the camera and I just watched.
It was incredibly perfect. The shuttle rolled over on schedule and it took off skyward leaving only a trail of white.
Space is so real. Enjoy the pics. Let the mind roam the universe and its spectacular formations and births.
