11. Are the images colorized?
Impressive stuff, especially if that's all naturally occuring!

The spiral galaxy at the very end was the most striking, mostly because galaxies look like spirals; this one was vibrant with purple and red sparkles and stars. Just think, the outer edge of the galaxy is most likely to be able to sustain life for any extended period of time... (go closer in and the compactness of matter combined with gravity makes everything a bombastic place, I'd expect...)

12. I don't know if they are colorized or not
but when I look at the pictures it makes me think that we cannot possibly be the only planet with some kind of life on it. We just haven't met them yet, or have we?:shrug:
