Question

What cosmic phenomenon interests you the most?

Answer 1

Nebulas. They are just so beautiful. I would do anything to see one up close.

Answer 2

Meteor Showers and Solar Eclipses. Though I've only seen the former, not the latter unfortunately.

Answer 3

I just love thinking about how stars are born, where and how.

Daniel N, If you haven't seen it there's a few frames in "The Peacekeeper Wars" from a show called "Farscape" where they're "sailing"  through a nebula that's one of the most awesome things I've seen ever. If you ever get a chance be sure to catch it, you'll love it, I think :)

It's near the end.
