Are you ? Are you not ?
Your scared of a photo of the universe? Why? It’s your ultimate maker…if you believe in that kind of thing.
Now I’ve seen everything.
I am not scared, but sad to think I will never get to go there.
but you **are **there
That’s amazing. See the celestial body 23.003.006 units from the upper right transverse vector. Well the guy standing in front of the monolith on Argon3 was in my art class in high school. He used to fart a lot. Where he is from explains the strange smell.
Is that a composite photo?
ETA: Uh, I guess not. Cool.
That’s the greatest image ever taken IMO. It humbles me beyond words. I’ve never been so moved by any image. What a marvelous species we are to be able to do such things.

Nope. Hubble focused on a “empty” piece of sky for a long time and that is what came from it.
You see that star sort of near the middle, with the kind of cross-shaped rays coming out of it?
That’s where the treasure is buried.
Nice overview. And I liked the Kinks snippet at the end.
“You spin me right 'round baby right 'round”…like a spiral galaxy.
Is that Ride On as the soundtrack?
I look at that photo and it fills me with awe. Just think about how far it is to the next town, then the next state, then the next continent, then around the world. We live on a huge planet. But really, it’s just a tiny planet compared to some much bigger ones, dwarfed by a fairly unremarkable star. And all of those Billions and Billions of stars that make up our galaxy, and all of the millions of galaxies in our local area, and even in the loneliest, deepest regions of space, even more galaxies. I think about the vastness of it all, and it makes me marvel at just how incredibly huge my penis really is.

Thank you so very much for sharing.
What a great picture!
Hubble Deep Field! Yes! Love the Ultra Deep Field, too. I’ve been considering buying a poster of this for awhile now.
Really makes ya feel insignificant, doesn’t it? To think that each feint little speck is an entire galaxy…
Whoa!
That picture makes me feel great anxiety. What kind of fear is that, the fear of big things? I am petrified of whales, very large skyscrapers, that picture of the iceberg underwater, but that galaxy picture takes the cake. I need to go lie down.
All we are is dust…in the wind!
