Why I love nebulae -not bio-
I have always been fascinated by the subject of space, and I love all of its wonders, but my favorite astronomical objects are the nebulae.
So I just felt like writing this, and painting my Heart Nebula concept avatar, just silliness on my part.
There actually IS a real Heart nebula. You can admire it here -->

I love nebulae because...
...they teach us about
sharing, even when we have lost everything. As a last gleaming of the now dead star, in an act of generosity, the planetary nebulae enrich the universe with their elements as they fade away. Their legacy lives on in the stars that are to be formed.
...they are like our
parents. They give birth to stars, hold them in their cradle, and help these infants to grow. At the same time they are being shaped themselves by their descendants, ultimately fading away in order to let the stars shine in all their glory; the delicate wisps that remain are akin to heart-warming memories...
...they show us that there is
beauty even in death (planetary nebulae, supernova remnants), converting it into a stunning display of light and color, a celebration.
...I can be in awe no matter how many times I look at them and their
splendor.
...I can find a nebula that can symbolize any feeling that I have, whether it is happiness, jealousy, sorrow...
hope...
This is just a small part. I find reasons to love them more every time I look at them and discover new things.

Also note that I'm not an English speaking person, but I AM a person, so if anybody wants to make a comment, please, don't make it about spelling/grammar mistakes. I am aware that I make them(especially grammar), and I AM trying to improve.
And more important, this is not meant to be technical, but a romanticized view. Yes, I know what a molecular cloud is and that Hubble takes BW.
