As much as possible I will blog here, though at this stage I...

All but 2 of the items were not pictures at all but computer simulations, or artists impressions. So here to correct this injustice to phenomena everywhere I present the REAL 10 Strangest Things in Space – or at least in my opinion. Feel free to suggest any others in the comments. V838...
