I've been reading up on it and I was so amazed at some of the the things I found out.

Facts:
-may briefly outshine its entire host galaxy before fading from view over several weeks or months. now if you don't know already, galaxies are massive, consisting of millions of stars.
-during it's intervals(several weeks or months) it can emit as much energy as the sun would in it's entire life span(approx. 10 billion years)

makes the nebula shine I think

Discuss how amazing and awe inspiring things in space are, like this nebula.

hot damn, those are some sexy stars.


I think it would be an interesting career to study those....


I was always interested in space stuff, like how time travel has already been achieved, even if it was only by a couple milliseconds.

Imagine how awesome it would be if we could look up at the sky at night and see them.

*sighs dreamily* I really do love how wonderful our universe is. Fortunately I've been blessed to live in areas where it usually isn't that cloudy and there isn't that much light pollution so I can see the stars very easily at night. Shame we can't see such things with the naked eye. I can't even see them with my telescope unfortunately.
