Looking at Nothing

Try to wrap your brain around this. Makes one feel very insignificant.



Ultra Deep Field - - -



Here is what happened when professional astronomers pointed the Hubble Space Telescope at absolutely nothing and left it there, first for 10 days, and then for 11 days. Then they made the images into a 3-D presentation. Hang on to your seat!

By the way, 13 billion light years are about equal to 880,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (880 sextillion) miles.

Wow! Very humbling but also exciting when you consider that we're still an essential part of all that!

Reminds me of the Total Perspective Vortex in Douglas Adams' \"Restaurant at the end of the Universe\", which allows you to see just how small you are in relation to the whole of existence.

Nice Master Garm....

Saw this myself and hadn't yet had time to post...

(Usually, when that's the case, it means I have forgotten to post something.... lol....)

I thought very humbling myself...

here's something else to think about, that only shows the galaxies that are big enough to be seen....what about the small ones....the ones so small we can't see them without a highpowered microscope...i often sit outside on a clear night and just look off to the horizon until i can see the curve of the atmosphere, then i start to get that feeling of just how small we really are...
