Our Universe

THIS is fascinating - it's rather dazzling to see it presented this way.



I CERTAINLY THOUGHT THIS WAS ENLIGHTENING.

BEYOND OUR SUN IT'S A BIG UNIVERSE.


ANTARES IS THE 15 TH BRIGHTEST STAR IN THE SKY.

IT IS MORE THAN 1000 LIGHT YEARS AWAY.

NOW, HOW BIG ARE YOU?


NOW, TRY TO WRAP YOUR MIND AROUND THIS...

THIS IS A HUBBLE TELESCOPE ULTRA DEEP FIELD

INFRARED VIEW OF COUNTLESS 'ENTIRE' GALAXIES

BILLIONS OF LIGHT-YEARS AWAY.

BELOW IS A CLOSE-UP OF ONE

OF THE DARKEST REGIONS OF THE PHOTO ABOVE.


HUMBLING, ISN'T IT?
