Reflections

A single sheet of stillness splits the world into two slices of the same essential soul. Your spirit sits upon the seemingly unchanging expression of exact reflection situated at the edge of your perception. A place so totally unknown and yet important to the eternal experience and evolution of human kind. Simply stay, expand your understanding of reality, and serve not just the one world in which you live, but the reflection of life as it moves across the great landscape of space and time. In Astronomy, reflection nebulae are clouds of dust which are simply reflecting the light of a nearby star or stars. The frequency spectrum shown by reflection nebulae is similar to that of the illuminating stars. Reflection nebulae are usually blue because the scattering is more efficient for blue light than red (this is the same scattering process that gives us blue skies and red sunsets). Some 500 reflection nebulae are known. Among the nicest of the reflection nebulae are those surrounding the stars of the Pleiades. A blue reflection nebula can also be seen in the same area of the sky as the Trifid Nebula. The giant star Antares, which is very red, is surrounded by a large, red reflection nebula.
