“To make this journey, we’ll need imagination, but imagination alone is not enough, because the reality of nature is far more wondrous than anything we can imagine.”
These are just a few of the beautiful visual effects from Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

Catedral de Marmol Lago General Carrera Patagonia Chile
Literally translated to ‘The Marble Cathedral’ this beautiful natural rock is pure calcium carbonate which throughout the years the sea has eroded the coastal rocks creating these stunning formations. It consists of a few islets located a few meters from the lakeshore, which are named Cathedral Marble, Marble Chapel and Marble Cave. You can access these formations through the lake in small boats from the town of Puerto Río Tranquilo (in the commune of Río Ibáñez, 223 km from Coyhaique, capital of the Aysen region). From here you can rent small boats that cross the field of Marble Cathedral when the lake is at a low level.

What’s the closest active galaxy to planet Earth? That would be Centaurus A, only 11 million light-years distant. Spanning over 60,000 light-years, the peculiar elliptical galaxy is also known as NGC 5128. Forged in a collision of two otherwise normal galaxies, Centaurus A’s fantastic jumble of young blue star clusters, pinkish star forming regions, and imposing dark dust lanes are seen here in remarkable detail. The colorful galaxy portrait is a composite of image data from space- and ground-based telescopes large and small. Near the galaxy’s center, left over cosmic debris is steadily being consumed by a central black hole with a billion times the mass of the Sun. As in other active galaxies, that process generates the radio, X-ray, and gamma-ray energy radiated by Centaurus A.

The Perseus Cluster, 240 million light-years away, which plays a B, 57 octaves below middle C. Two days ago, it was announced that a mysterious X-ray signal emanating from the galactic cluster could be a sign of a dark matter candidate, a sterile neutrino.
