I chose this image simply because it looked very cool. I have always been curious as to the difference in color of the stars. As some appear red, and other appear blue there must be some difference. Whether this difference is cause by the fluctuations in heat between stars, or the distance the star is from us. The cloud like image in the middle of the picture is also an awe inspiring view. As there aernt clouds in space like there are in Earth's atmosphere it must actually be globs of stars. The haze must be a visualization of actually millions of distant stars blurred together. Every time I look at pictures of stars I always realize how small and insignificant we are in comparison to the universe. Out of all these stars the odds of having life similar to ours somewhere in the universe must be pretty great. To have all this space and all of the millions of opportunities for life, there must be a similar world as ours, somewhere out there.
