This is a rather nice picture of the Rosette Nebula.

Nothing out of the ordinary, right? I mean we're treated to incredible shots of the universe almost every day.

But this image was taken by some bloke in his garden shed!

Daniel Smith - a long time ago, in a galaxy far away just north of Watford, Daniel fancied himself as a scientist but turned out to be the worst scientist since that bloke who mapped out all those canals on Mars that turned out to be scratches on his telescope's lens. Luckily, he is now not working on the Large Hadron Collider inadvertently creating a black hole that would swallow the world but is safely behind a desk writing this blog, bringing you the fantastical underbelly of nature... weird science.
