While browsing through photos, NASA’s photo gallery immediately drew me in. Since I was a child, I was always fascinated by space and astronomy. The idea that time and space is infinitely larger than humankind can fathom enthralled me, and I constantly read about galaxies, planets, and stars. Today, advanced imagery technology can capture vivid images of the vast world beyond Earth…in breathtaking detail. We no longer have to imagine what deep space looks like, because we can now see them. I was very excited that NASA made these images available for download and use. In “NGC 3324,” I love how the golden clouds seem to invite the viewer to glance closer at the stars behind them. The purple specks, which represent young stars, make the image sparkle and come to life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose the song “Relief” to accompany the image because it enhances the magical and mysterious quality of it. The reverberating bells in the introduction (0:00-0:45) capture the vastness of deep space while the low strings that enter later (0:46-1:23) add some dissonance, representing the (still) unanswered questions we may have about the world beyond. The bells enter and exit throughout the rest of the song, and when I look at the image while listening, I feel immersed in the wonder of infinite worlds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
