We live in a diverse universe, one with many sizes, shapes and spectra
of astronomical objects.  From a measly planet to a supergiant star, to
a galaxy, and clusters of galaxies.  From spherical to spheroidal to
jetlike and stringy.  Through all wavebands of the entire electromagnetic
spectrum.

The exact extent of the universe is unknown, but it's big, that's for sure.
It appears that the universe is open -- that is it will expand forever,
never to collapse back on itself.  It is probably at least 12 billion
years old.  

We know more about it than ever before, but there are still some big
unanswered questions.  One of these is whether we are alone, or does other
life exist somewhere out there in the vastness?  This and many other 
issues are being investigated by astronomers right now.  

So stay tuned to your computer, and follow the links to astronomy, space
science, images and more.

As always, I, George Krumins, appreciate your feedback.  So if you enjoy 
this area (or not) email the Astrolink Information Provider 'Astrolink to

Thank you for your attention, and now back to our regularly scheduled
