Watch *ON* youtube, in 720.

Thoughts? Spoiler below
















































































































10,000 galaxies, in a spot of sky no bigger than a grain of sand held at arms length.

Each galaxy containing hundreds of billions of stars, some as many as trillions.

Each star having it's on system of planets.

All in a grain of sands worth of sky.

We're smaller than a mote of dust.

A "grain of sand" that area would obviously grow exponentially with increasing distance from Earth, therefore could potentially provide an infinate amount of area with unlimited distance.

But im lad they could measure the didtance to the ultra deep space ^^


Humbling Stuff really...

doesn't prove anything just shows the chances are likely is all but you have to think that pic is 13 billion years old. its a snap shot of what that part of the universe looked like 13 billion years ago. If there was intelligent lifeforms in that image most likely they took the same path were heading into nuclear annihilation of our selves

the fact we only see the past at that range is really the most interesting part to me atleast until we get a better look out that far.

This makes very little to no sense, should clarify that part. Not sure what a "better look" would do besides show galaxies in greater detail.
