The growth of this community continues to amaze me. We've made this the place for the most premier Space-related-beauty on Lemmy and continue to bring in new user's at a huge pace. There's a continued increase in user contribution as well and it's great seeing the different celestial objects or image types that different users prefer.

Please continue to post and comment so we can continue to make this an exciting and welcoming community.

Also, if you're new here, know that this is a friendly place that you should feel comfortable joining. Please remember to share your suggestions, we want this community to be active and reflect what the user's want it to be.

If you have any suggestions for things that you would like to see, or just want to stop by and say what your favorite type of celestial object is, let us know.

Thanks and continue being awesome.

Hi all! I love images of crazy cool galaxies that are so far away I couldn't reach them in my lifetime even travelling at the speed of light. ๐Ÿ˜

Those are my favorite as well. Something about seeing the deep field images and knowing every dot is a whole other massive galaxy, full of planets and possibilities just excites my imagination.
