Gawd just put those galaxies there to amuse us when we invented telescopes. And created the light in transit to cover up the fact that although they were created 6012 years ago they are millions of light years away. What a prankster, eh?
They are pretty, though. Awe-inspiring, in fact. If the Babble had told us of them and promised that in thousands of years we'd invent instruments that would let us see them, I might take it a little more seriously.
Pictures such as the one you had shown in this video remind me of the mathematically produced fractal images in that the details look as if the objects are really much smaller than they actually are. I mean much much smaller. Is this just my mind drawing conclusions that are only conceptual or is there something actually significant about that observation?
funny, i copy'd step by step the pic download but i couldnt pan around in it like you did. guess i need some kind of program yeah? cant wait for the next gen hubble. :)
Just by random I pulled this up and happened to be listening to Beastie Boys Intergalactic. Both songs played at the same time aat the same sound level (low) actually sounded pretty good.
I've needed some good desktops for a while. I have gotten mildly sick of the same 2 space images included with OSX. Daily random image changes to these will lighten my day. :D
Thanks for the info and will definitely check out the pics from space.
Like another poster said, "Go Science!"
Imagine a world without science and it's pursuit of the truth. We would be goat/sheep herders still reading about gods and the like. Oh my, we still have people around that still live in that era?? No Way!
APOD is the best place for a new image of the heavens every day. Just type that into Google, click the first link, and be amazed. Also add it to your home pages.
hmmm. download the full resolution TIFF file and you can see the clipping paths from where they stitched 4 or 5 of the photos together.
Thought it was interesting that they would save it with the clipping path. Not only can you see evidence of stitching, but it increases the files size too!
Awesome as usual - Thanks so much AW, you totally rock!
I wish the world was filled with brilliant and generous beings like yourself. Thank you, thank you, and thank you again for being such an awesome guy. Huge Fan, can't wait to see where your life takes you - hopefully up, up and away. :)
