It's your dominant Neanderthal genes expressing themselves. :^) You wouldn't
see that looking through a telescope. Those were taken either greatly time
lapsed or with film/sensors designed to pick up non-visible EM wavelengths.
I've seen the Andromeda galaxy in a telescope and it was just a fuzzy white
oval.

agreed. but while space intrigues me greatly, some of those photos
really freak me out. the nebula and galaxy photos in particular are
awesome, but freaky for some reason. I don't know why.

nah...I think I just look at it like a kid would; mystified because
space is so cool and fascinating, but scared because I mean, it's
*space*! :-)

that's what I thought. but there's a closeup of the sun that says it was
taken by an amateur astronomer with a simple telescope and camera.
weird.

The most beautiful thing I've ever seen with my own eyes is the Northern
Lights in the sky over a totally calm (which is almost never) Lake
Superior. I knew at the time, even though I was only 10 or so, that I would
never behold anything greater for the rest of my days. So yes, I can
relate, Paul!

"Seymour, the house is on fire!"

"No mother, it's just the northern lights."

I like that Skinner/Mother exchange almost as much as:
"Seymour, are you looking at naked ladies?"

"No, mother." (he's using a computer)

"Sissy."

The Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) happen all around the year I think if
you are in the correct position to see them, the more northerly the better.
They are linked with Solar flares. Here's a link.
http://climate.gi.alaska.edu/Curtis/aurora/aurora.html

I didn't see them over Lake Superior, I was 1 day too late, but I did see
them over Boulder Lake, near Boulder Junction (what a cool place). We were
too far south apparently for colours but they were like huge ghostly clouds
zipping and rippling across the sky and they seemed to converge on a point
above my head where they circled and moved about, I was sober - honest guv.
I can definitely how an indigenous people could view them as being of or
from the Gods.

From I was 5 years old they were a thing I wanted to see - awesome, just
awesome.

What a trip!
