Space is scary. <\/p>\n
Supernovae explode, flooding their neighborhood with deadly high-energy light and blasting superheated matter outward at a large fraction of the speed of light. Black holes gobble down everything around them, and theyre sloppy eaters, spewing out deadly radiation and belching vast winds of gas. Galaxies collide, asteroids impact, entire worlds are chewed to dust by their violent stars. <\/p>\n
And since tis the season, heres a gallery of spooky pictures of nature: moaning nebulae, screaming stars, ghastly volcanoes, and more.
