I struggle and am marvelled by the size of space. I've always found it fascinating, even before I managed to get some small grip on just how massive it is.
I always find images of space interesting, so I thought I'd make one as a screen saver for my Reader.
This is of M31, which of course is the Andromeda Galaxy, our neighbour. I did a quick calculation and driving at 70 miles per hour - in other words a British motorway, it would only take 23930665362035 days to get there. The M31 motorway (all UK motorways are designated by M and then a number) was never actually built. I'm glad of that as it would have taken more cats eyes than there are cats to supply them.
Let me know if you like it, I've only just made it myself, and if you like it and I like it then I may make more!
Edit : It looks terrible in the thumbnail. A lot of detail is removed.
