Every day the Hubble telescope will take a new picture of a Beautiful galaxy

Am I the only person who's freaked out by pics like this? Everything suddenly feels impossibly tiny.
No I am too. Its hard to believe all that is out there. Its so beautiful yet so destructive at the same time :(
Must show Science teacher, we're learning about the 5 main different types of telescopes right now :D. (Radio, UV, Infrared, X-Ray, Optical) with the Hubble Space Telescope included. And she'll probably ask, so, anyone know exactly which telescopes the HST is using to take these pictures?
On Christmas, they better find baby Jebus.
Try this one:Quote:

Holy shi-
Holy fuck!
:shocked:
We really are insignificant in this universe. It's simply amazing at what has been created. Whatever omnipotent being there is out there, it certainly likes to think big.

What the...
Shit, that's beautiful.
No matter how insignificant we are in this universe, we're the most significant thing we know of. That's enough for me.
Yes, physics likes to think big.Quote:

I find it funny that our solar system has 1 sun. the norm of the universe is 2 sun per solar system. wonder if there are sulfer based life out there.
I like it big.
I find that hard to believe, but even so, saying that its the norm is wrong.Quote:

True, good thinking.Quote:

I mean, there are millions of billions of stars, out there, all within hundreds of thousand of galaxies, millions of lightyears of stuff we don't know about. The possibilities of something not existing are quite small in my opinion. When I think about it, there are probably some other species out there, maybe is some distant galaxy, but still out there, that look almost exactly like us, and hey, maybe even use some similar words as us.
Extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemely unlikely but you get the point.Quote:

It's breathtaking when you realize all that's in theuniverseworld first. Then it's sort of like "WTF? Why haven't we got there yet?" I'm still figuring out why NASA is being so damn slow with space shuttles (don't say the economy). :mad:
We have so many places we can visit out there and yet we're staying on Earth. Who cares what's on Mars right now? No point in knowing if we really can't get there in a viable ship. =/
Hotrod you should be asking, "What are the chances that there is some other form of life out there that is close to us, and going by close that's still pretty fuckign far. And will we ever get to communicate with them?" That's the questions that have a chance that are as good as impossible.
Primo is right.
Um, there's this stuff called fuel, this thing called distance, and this 4th dimension called time. Do you think it's as easy as just launching off the Earth and to get to Mars in a day or something? This isn't beginning to mention safety or the other resources required to pull off such an advanced project.Quote:

Thats not how it is is it?
Nope, but we used to think that. Read the links, they contain copious amounts of http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...ot-science.gifQuote:

edit: it's pictures like those that make me hate the dark ages...fucking throwing away hundreds of years of scientific advances for 300 years and starting over >.<
Curse you Dark Ages!!!! if it weren't for you, we would be out there exploring the universe.

Anyone got any idea where i can get a huge zoomable image of these ulltra deep field shots?
oh jesus
Space combat games like Freespace need a comeback just so I can blow more shit up with backgrounds like these.
Homeworld 2 and EvE. Sins of a Solar Empire can be compared to fighting in giant FRUIT.
The universe is awesome.
That it is.Quote:
