Good day, Steemians!
When my "problems" feel overwhelming, I like to look at space stuff and remember I'm just a wee speck of star dust.
Galaxy cluster MACS J0717
NGC 4414, the Flocked Galaxy
NGCs 4038 & 4039, Antennae Galaxies colliding
NGC 5457, Pinwheel Galaxy
NGC 5128, Centaurus A - the Devouring Galaxy
NGC 4258, the Splendid Galaxy
NGC 1300, the Strong-Armed Galaxy
NGC 224, the Andromeda Galaxy
NGC 4594, the Sombrero Galaxy
NGCs 3314a & 3314b, the Superimposed Galaxies
NGC 4634, the Small Balk Galaxy
Home sweet home - the Milky Way Galaxy
Galaxies are billions of stars, space gas, dust, and dark matter held together by gravity, with mysterious black holes at their center.
💛 Sara!
And for some super yummy cosmic vibes, here's a juicy little number hot out the planetarium to warm up your galactic ogling:
I do that too! If it all gets a little overwhelming, I climb a mountain and look down on my town and think to myself:
"How can all that drama fit inside that little speck of a place. I've been taking this way too seriously"!

That's lovely, @onceuponatime! I can feel myself on a mountain top right now...I absolutely love the mountains for de-stressing. Unfortunately it's pretty flat in these parts.

This one you forgot. "Gods eye nebula". I love Hubble. It made us all realize how beautiful the Universe is and how small our problems and anxieties are. Thanks for sharing these images even though I have couple of gb's Hubble HD photos on my harddrive. :)

These are very beautiful pictures of the universe. To think God made the light first and then the earth The sun is so big compared to the earth. And for the universe I do not have words. Follow my series about your opinion science and the bible @ scotty777

Great post, I always find the vastness of space a very humbling experience to ponder. We are truly dust in an ocean of desert. This post reminded me of the bigger picture and I thank you for that. Followed you and fascinated. Keep up the amazing work.

Soon as I get a moment I will definitely swing by and read your stuff. I am huge on science and spirituality. I am a jumble of a lot of interests but grew up fascinated about science and that always stuck with me. Just followed you, feel free to keep in touch and as soon as I get some free time I will come by your profile and take a look

Nice, I super dig on science and spirituality too. I think the topics have been polarized for awhile, but I love the overlap and seeing how we try to make sense of the mystical.

Its seems to me we are on the brink of many great discoveries about space and time lately, very exciting time for those of us that love science

I agree, its odd but seems everyone inside knows that we are at a crossroads for all of humanity and I believe a choice is about to have to be made for the future direction of mankind. If we don't get this right here in our generation it could spell trouble but I sense some spirituality is wrapping around us to guide us through this time. Agree with you 100% on that

Scotty man, you already said that...it's more engaging to make unique comments so people don't write you off as a boring old bot. Also, I don't think your series will be about my opinion at all...

Anytime, when I get free later I will try to remember to pop by your profile and RESTEEM a few of your articles. I run Steemit Blogger Central on FB and Twitter and we seem to be growing fast lately. Idea is to hook people up with a home to see RESTEEMS and connect users to other users, plus highlight Steemit to the outside world in hopes we get more new users. Lots of work but I really love this community and want to help where I can. So when I get a chance after I hook up the 50 people at me for RESTEEMs I will come by and include you in the mix if you would like. Keep up the great work. Well worth my follow easily

I am all in here, I been looking for a home in crypto for a long time, found one while I was with PIVX but this here is a bit more my speed seeing I can be myself, write about what I love and meet great like minds as well. I am going full time between my running of my pages for Steemit Blogger Central on FB and Twitter and hopefully managing time to keep writing here so I can grow with Steemit before the huge crowds flow in. Really good to meet and chat with you. Don't be a stranger please

Hey Sara! Amazing pictures and most of all amazing message... I have the ISS (International Space Station) app on my phone and every time I feel I have problems here on Earth I just connect and get lost in space - literally, realizing that we're -as one of my favorite songs goes- dust in the wind ... Followed for more - your gallery is so real :) Thank you!

Thank you for the lovely imagery. It's truly mind-boggling to consider the size of all of creation. And, of course even more boggling to think about what's at the end/how can there by no end to space? Looking forward to more posts from you.
