across the universe

Wow check out this free program , Celestia , which lets you explore space. Something like Google Earth but it’s for space. I went across the universe and took some pictures :


Earth as seen from the moon


Phobos , a moon of mars


Neptune and it’s many moons


Mimas , a moon of saturn. Behind it is saturn and it’s rings


The Milky Way , our home galaxy


Our sun ( Sol ) and the milky way behind it


Eros , an asteroid. Behind it is Uranus.
