Human eyes can see only a small portion of the range of radiation given off by the objects around us. We call this wide array of radiation the electromagnetic spectrum, and the part we can see visible light.
In the first image, researchers revisited one of Hubble Space Telescope’s most popular sights: the Eagle Nebula’s Pillars of Creation. Here, the pillars are seen in infrared light, which pierces through obscuring dust and gas and unveil a more unfamiliar — but just as amazing — view of the pillars. The entire frame is peppered with bright stars and baby stars are revealed being formed within the pillars themselves. The image on the bottom is the pillars in visible light.

Amélie (2001) dir. Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Era la persona más hermosa que había visto en mi vida. Me pregunto si alguna vez alguien pensará lo mismo sobre mí.

“This isn’t the last song, there’s no violin, the choir is quiet, and no one takes a spin, this is the next to last song, and that’s all…”
Wildflowers in Fog, Mount Rainier by Lazgrapher
“Pero ¿cuándo el amor s propiamente amor? ¿Puede uno amar a quien le acompañó por una hora? ¿Por dos horas, dos meses, dos años, dos minutos? ¿Se ama a quien se conoce, justamente por eso, o es quizás al revés: conocemos para mejor desconocer, y así poder amar sin el estorbo de la realidad? ¿No es cierto que quienes más se aman son a veces quienes menos se conocen? Ni una sola de estas preguntas se plantea jamás para buscar respuesta verdadera. Ninguna la tiene, ni la tendrá, a menos que uno decida imponérsela, casi siempre de acuerdo con su más absoluta inconveniencia. Incluso sin respuesta, lanzadas al espacio estratosférico de los propios insomnios, las preguntas que apuntan hacia la probable existencia del amor suelen aparecer cuando no queda tiempo, ni voluntad, ni siquiera osadía para ponerlas en duda. Preguntarse si por casualidad se ama equivale a plantear una alternativa entre felicidad y desdicha, buena y mala fortuna, besos y bofetadas.”

Will we one day explore the worlds of our solar system? How long will this take?
We have a diversity of worlds in our solar system. Majestic places…
Imagine being able to visit Mars and its hostile climate. Imagine being able to visit the moons of Jupiter, observe Io: the volcanic moon, Europa, the frozen moon and Ganymede a moon larger than Mercury itself and that has its own magnetic field. Imagine visiting the moons of Saturn and maybe passing close to your rings… Imagine orbiting or floating through Titan’s atmosphere and closely watching its lakes and seas of methane and liquid ethane. Imagine getting to know the geysers of Enceladus, the valleys of Tethys, and the craters of Mimas… Imagine being able to see the moons of Uranus and have a view of Verona Rupes, the largest cliff of the solar system, located in Miranda. Imagine being able to be in Triton and to be able to observe the cold and azualdo Neptune in the sky…
