how can you not be romantic about space

A cluster of stars inside a large nebula. The clouds of gas and dust are predominantly bright red in colour and wispy, akin to flames. They are clumped in the bottom-left corner. Other clouds, deeper in the cluster behind many of the stars, appear pale pink. The stars are concentrated in the top half of the image and are mostly small, bright white and six-pointed. They cast blue light over the nebula. Other stars with very long spikes surrounding them lie in the foreground.

$Colorful nebula in space with a white haze throughout that is more concentrated in the center with a rippling effect. Colorful gas filaments appear to splash outward from the nebula center, colored yellow, magenta, and blue. A faint black border with right angles at the corners of the images show where the telescope\u2019s field of view stopsdotted line with right angles shows the borders of the telescope\u2019s image. Small white stars dot the background.$

A large planetary nebula. The nebula’s central star is hidden by a blotchy pinkish cloud of dust. A strong red light radiates from this area, illuminating the nearby dust. Two large loops extend diagonally away from the centre, formed of thin ridges of molecular gas, here coloured blue. They stretch out to the corners of the view. A huge number of bright, whitish stars cover the background, also easily visible through the thin dust layers.

$A beautiful, nearly face-on spiral galaxy in shades of blue and pink fills the view. Its bright-white core is bisected with rusty-brown clouds that extend into the inner part of the galaxy\u2019s spiral arms. Bright reddish-pink star forming regions shine like beacons that dot its spiral arms.$

Hand warmers contain a special sodium acetate solution that gives off heat when you press a metal disc, triggering the liquid to turn into crystals. They can be reused by boiling them in water to dissolve the crystals back into the liquid.
