Behind the Galaxy's Most Famous Nebula
"The self-same atoms which, chaotically dispersed, made the nebula, now, jammed and temporarily caught in peculiar positions, form our brains; and the 'evolution' of brains, if understood, would be simply the account of how the atoms came to be so caught and jammed." -William James Up in the heavens, there are planets, stars, and galaxies all clearly visible in the night sky.
