So, while I'm not an artsy fartsy guy, I do love looking at interesting things. Images, abstract art, interesting devices, etc. Sometimes just random situations will have interesting things happening.
I suppose this relates to my love of Astronomy and Astrophysics. (like my recent thread of a blog post I named Perspective. Just fathoming things even if sometimes inconsequential to daily life can add depth and deeper understanding of life.
The images can be of absolutely anything and I hope others will participate as these images and the perspectives supplied can be quite enjoyable.
The following image is a real image of a trinary star system forming. That being a solar system like our own, but it has three stars forming instead of just one like ours!
In this image taken by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA, https://goo.gl/utFUAD) you can see the birth of a multiple star system, the dusty disc of material around a young star is fragmenting and in the process creating two more stars. It is the triple star system L1448 IRS3B, located in the constellation of Perseus(https://goo.gl/ECiiP9), about 750 light-years away from Earth.
