I have recently become very interested in how the Universe was formed and how we got here. It might surprise some (it surprised me)that of all the things I could be interested in this is it. Well there are others but at the moment I am in awe.
We have Hubble (http://www.hubblesite.org/) out in space capturing images we have never seen before and giving scientists from lots of different fields enough data I'm sure to keep them going for their lifetime and probably their kids lifetimes too.
As I am only staring my blogging life there will be much more to follow. I am currently on the Hubble site looking at images and all I can say is wow. If we were shown images like this in our class rooms when we were in school we would have been blown away....maybe we would have more of our children interested in the universe.
My son who is nearly 7 has seen the images online I have been looking at and is fascinated. Obviously he has no concept yet of how big the universe is nor how long it has been around but he will get there.
