People are drawn to escapist things because they’re a little bit dissatisfied with the world as it actually is, we want to inhabit or physically touch something that feels free from the disappointments of everyday life
Picked up my @tommyarnoldart.com #murderbot print from the frame shop. So excited to get this on the wall

A wide-field astrophotography image of the North America Nebula (NGC 7000), showing a dense, red emission nebula with a shape resembling the continent of North America. The surrounding star field is rich with faint stars and dark nebulae cutting through the glowing gas.
A dramatic image of the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) interacting with its smaller companion galaxy. The two galaxies are connected by a faint tidal stream, and the spiral arms of M51 are clearly defined, with bright knots of star formation.
A barred spiral galaxy, M109, with a bright central bar and subtle, tightly wound spiral arms. The galaxy appears elongated, set against a backdrop of distant stars, with a smooth and symmetrical structure.
A spiral galaxy seen face-on against a black sky, with delicate arms spiraling outward from a bright core. The arms of M101 (Pinwheel Galaxy) are speckled with blue and pink star-forming regions, surrounded by faint stars.
Finally made it out to a real dark sky site for my first proper night of #astrophotography
