Living in the space epoch, we normal, everyday humans have the ability to access images of the cosmos which surely ping open limitations in our minds about what is possible, and about what actually IS.
Thanks to the release of images taken by NASA (various space-going craft); land-based astronomical telescopes, and the Hubble Space Telescope, we can enjoy and differentiate between nebulas, planets, constellations and galaxies, as well as see the activities of our own Sun up close.
