I was just sent this beautiful image, used to illustrate a piece on BBC News on spiral galaxies. I had a look on the source website, and they have the original image in all its hugeness (and convenient wallpaper sizes) available to download.
I don't think I really need to say anything more about it than please, go and look. Our galaxy is a beautiful place.

I aspire to communicate my enthusiasm for science and the world around me. Talking and waving my hands excitedly works brilliantly for small numbers, but I'd like to spread the love a bit further. I hope you find something interesting here!
A twentysomething science communication postgraduate student (undergrad: physics) with artistic tendencies and communicative ambitions. Can generally be relied upon for a large amount of enthusiasm, backed by what some consider a surprisingly large variety of skills.
