Link as you have it isn't quite right. Try this:

Most Important Image Ever Taken

And it's an awesome little video. Thanks for posting it!

... I just returned from taking my daughter shopping for prom tomorrow. Mall rats, SUV's, escalators... we returned pretty jangled. She and I just now sat here, and... looked. Now I feel like I can breath again.

Here's a video to show you just how big the universe is.

I saw another version of this years ago. Missing from this version is the time dilation effects. As you near the edge of the universe your speed is so great that each ten seconds of your time, 100 million years pass on Earth.

Thanks Rob. Thanks for the pics link KK. Boggles the mind. I can't believe there's NOT life out there - an alien Literotica even.

Absolutely fanfuckingtasik.



Never stop looking up....and remember to never stop looking down.

We can only appreciate these wonders if we fully appreciate the wonders we stand on every day.

Agreed! Wow.

It never fails to render me awestruck when I see the Hubble photos, nor does it fail to remind me just how insignificant we are in the overall scheme.

Thanks to everyone for the links. This was the perfect thing to wash away the petty stresses of the day and re-orient my perspective.

Leaves me thinking of Monty Python and The Galaxy Song….

The Universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know,
12 million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
Because there's bugger all down here on Earth.
