It's beauty will leave you in its dust

Hubbles best work

“Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.” Carl Sagan

"The greatest paint brush of man can not compare to the waxing whimsical of the natural universe in its intricacies and raw beauty." Unknown

“The cosmos is a gigantic flywheel making 10,000 revolutions per minute. Man is a sick fly taking a dizzy ride on it.” Henry Louis Mencken

“When science finally locates the center of the universe, some people will be surprised to learn they're not it.” Bernard Bailey

"The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects." -Einstein

"Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science." Edwin Powell Hubble
