i saw this and thought it was pretty cool its a capture of the Shandra Deep feild cell in the constilition Fornex . basicly they pointed it at a section of sky 1 84th of a square degree that was completely black to the human eye. after 94 orbits of the earth for the RGB and 143 orbits for ultra vilot and in-fired they had this imige.

it is ~12 billion years f cosmic formation and those arnt stars in that 1 84th a degree there are ~ 7200 galaxy's.

If you ever thought we were alone in this universe just remember each of those galaxys has the potential to contain 100 billion Stars. if we are we are very alone.

Its too fucking big....its insane to try and wrap your head around how big the universe is.

BTW....didnt they retire the hubble telescope? or make plans to replace it?

i think that the most interesting thing about deep deep deep space images is that the farther the objects of the image are, the older what we are seeing is as well.
12-billion light years away means that what you are looking at actually existed 12 billion years ago. the universe is 14 billion years old, so in reality what is there now would look NOTHING like that anymore.
it's almost like having a time machine.

it's also amazing that no matter how far objects in space are, us humans were able to map it out and learn so much about the universe. However, it seems the more we learn, the more we realize that we know next to nothing.
