my room in a messy state lol.
this was my first attempt at photostitch/photomerge/panorama.
the quality is crap because i didn't bother to change the settings on my dslr. i'll take better ones soon.

When I asked our waiter for some extra napkins, he said, "You always were a messy eater," and then within seconds he had tied this lovely bib on me. (He also eventually brought the napkins.)
Edited European Southern Observatory image of the galaxy Messier 61. Inverted grayscale variant.
Original caption: Nuzzled in the chest of the constellation Virgo (the Virgin) lies a beautiful cosmic gem — the galaxy Messier 61. This glittering spiral galaxy is aligned face-on towards Earth, thus presenting us with a breathtaking view of its structure. The gas and dust of the intricate spiral arms are studded with billions of stars. This galaxy is a bustling hub of activity with a rapid rate of star formation, and both a massive nuclear star cluster and a supermassive black hole buried at its heart. Messier 61 is one of the largest members of the Virgo Cluster, which is made up of more than a thousand galaxies, and is itself at the centre of the Virgo Supercluster — to which our Milky Way also belongs. This dazzling beauty was first discovered in 1779, and it has been capturing astronomers’ interest ever since. Set against a dark sky littered with galaxies, this image shows the awe-inspiring M61 in its full glory — even at its distance of over 50 million light-years. This image was taken as part of ESO’s Cosmic Gems Programme, an outreach initiative to produce images of interesting, intriguing or visually attractive objects using ESO telescopes, for the purposes of education and public outreach. The programme makes use of telescope time that cannot be used for science observations. In case the data collected could be useful for future scientific purposes, these observations are saved and made available to astronomers through ESO’s Science Archive.
things got messy in the 9 straatjes district when people got out all these big yellow and orange bundles of wool and started to play catch with them. the result was a big colorful web all through the street.. it was awesome.
(bloody bulb switch)
Here's my journal for today. Oh, I forgot to crop out my messy desk! I probably wouldn't win the prize, but I can't find anything half the time...
Messier 10 or M10 (also designated NGC 6254) is a globular cluster of stars in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus. The object was discovered by the French astronomer Charles Messier on May 29, 1764, who cataloged it as number 10 in his catalogue and described it as a "nebula without stars". In 1774, German astronomer Johann Elert Bode likewise called it a "nebulous patch without stars; very pale". Using larger instrumentation, German-born astronomer William Herschel was able to resolve the cluster into its individual members. He described it as a "beautiful cluster of extremely compressed stars". William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse thought he could distinguish a dark lane through part of the cluster. The first to estimate the distance to the cluster was Harlow Shapley, although his derivation of 33,000 light years was much further than the modern value.

La Galaxia de Andrómeda, también conocida como Objeto Messier 31, Messier 31 o NGC 224, es una galaxia espiral gigante. Es el objeto visible a simple vista más alejado de la Tierra (aunque algunos afirman poder ver a simple vista a M33, que está un poco más lejos). Está a 2,5 millones de años luz (775 kpc) en dirección a la constelación de Andrómeda. Es la más grande y brillante de las galaxias del Grupo Local, que consiste en aproximadamente 30 pequeñas galaxias más tres grandes galaxias espirales: Andrómeda, la Vía Láctea y la Galaxia del Triángulo.
Tiene una masa calculada de entre 300.000 y 400.000 millones de masas solares: aproximadamente una vez y media la masa de la Vía Láctea y es el doble de brillante que ésta. Con las mejoras en las mediciones y los datos obtenidos algunos científicos creen que la Vía Láctea contiene mucha más materia oscura y podría ser más masiva que M31. Sin embargo, observaciones recientes del Telescopio espacial Spitzer revelaron que la M31 contiene un billón (10^12) de estrellas, excediendo por mucho el número de estrellas en nuestra galaxia, y recientes mediciones vuelven a mostrar que es más masiva que la Vía Láctea.[3] Además de ésto, algunos autores postulan que es la segunda galaxia intrínsecamente más brillante en un radio de 10 megaparsecs alrededor de la Vía Láctea, sólo superada por la galaxia del Sombrero.[4]
La galaxia se está acercando a nosotros a unos 140 kilómetros por segundo y se cree que de aquí a aproximadamente 3.000 millones a 5.000 millones de años podría colisionar con la nuestra y fusionarse ambas formando una galaxia elíptica gigante.

Messier 12 or M 12 (also designated NGC 6218) is a globular cluster in the constellation of Ophiuchus. It was discovered by the French astronomer Charles Messier on May 30, 1764, who described it as a "nebula without stars".[7] In dark conditions this cluster can be faintly seen with a pair of binoculars. Resolving the stellar components requires a telescope with an aperture of 8 in (20 cm) or greater.[8] In a 10 in (25 cm) scope, the granular core shows a diameter of 3′ (arcminutes) surrounded by a 10′ halo of stars.[7]
Located roughly 3°[8] in the sky from the cluster M10 and 5.6° from the star Lambda Ophiuchi, M12 is about 15,700 light-years (4,800 parsecs)[3] from Earth and has a spatial diameter of about 75 light-years. The brightest stars of M12 are of 12th magnitude. With a Shapley-Sawyer rating of IX,[1] it is rather loosely packed for a globular and was once thought to be a tightly concentrated open cluster. Thirteen variable stars have been recorded in this cluster.
A study published in 2006 concluded that this cluster has an unusually low number of low mass stars. The authors surmise that they were stripped from the cluster by the gravitational influence of the Milky Way.
El Cúmulo de Hércules (también conocido como Gran Cúmulo de Hércules, Objeto Messier 13, Messier 13, M13 o NGC 6205) es un cúmulo globular de la constelación de Hercules. Fue descubierto por el astrónomo inglés Edmond Halley en el año 1714. William Herschel, por medio de su gran telescopio reflector, pudo descubrir varias alineaciones de estrellas (conocidas como patas de araña), comprobar que estaba formado por estrellas y hacer un primer recuento de sus componentes (aproximadamente unas 8.500 según sus cómputos)
