You would only need to be subscribed to the Optimist Daily for a little while to know we are geeks for outer space. That’s why we were over the moon when NASA released a gallery of jaw-dropping imagery of the universe captured by telescopes from around the world.

The universe, when seen through infrared, radio waves, and gamma rays, becomes an incredible sight full of colors, spirals, and starbursts. Quite frankly, these x-ray images make the universe look like an 80s nightclub.
