This video is truly amazing and showcases some of the greatest views of our universe from numerous telescopes placed around the Earth.
Of the many resources to learn about the universe, I cannot highly reccomend this series enough.
A typical episode leaves it's viewer in awe.

I also purchased this book also to use as a resource that I can take wonderous elements of the universe such as nebulae and construct them accurately within my games world. The book itself is of incredible detail and the many pictures taken by the Hubble telescope are as incredible as humbling.

There is one book that I 'want' to buy but sadly it is quite expensive at upwards of £50 in Waterstones. Luckily Amazon has the book listed for $26.
The size of the book as well is impressive, I do not think I have ever seen such high-resolution images of the cosmos as the ones that are contained in this book.

I also highly reccomend this series by Carl Sagan on the Cosmos, aptly titled 'Cosmos' and created in 1980, this series is still just as moving as well as educational about the universe.
