more bright stars


This is my current desktop background of the star Rigel alongside the Witch Head Nebula in the constellation Orion. Squeezing it into a little box here barely does it any justice, and letting it fill up my entire screen is still but a meager substitute for seeing or being amongst those actual stars in space. That's okay, I like being able to dream.
