"We are a way for the cosmos to know itself."

While we welcome pics to this community, the focus of the sub is tilted towards astronomy as a discipline. As such, we typically remove pictures that are not of an exceptional quality (i.e., no cell phone).
Photos should be original content and include acquisition information or link to the original source (ie, Hubble, NASA, etc...).
If your photos do not meet these guidelines, consider posting in /r/photos or /r/astrophotography.
Remember, keep looking up!
