Quasars Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Hi guys I am a student in Preston university, I have signed up here as I am utterly fasinated with space and its huge expanse. What fasinates me is the fact that most distance galaxies are beyond human comprehension in that man will never ever have the ability to travel to them.I am a noob within Astronomy but I have signed up here to learn and observe off the experts. I hope soon to have my own telescope to start capturing some amazing pictures of M31 and the Crab nebuala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesM Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Hi Dominic and welcome to the forum.There is a lot of mileage out there and I suppose they don't call it space for nothing! I'm also quite pleased that we are unlikely to visit these places in person, as it will at least allow them to exist in their natural state allowing us to be amazed at their beauty without any interference from us. (crikey...I can feel a protest marcch coming on:D)Looking forward to your questions and wishing you clear sskies in the meantime,James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
