Hubble Ultra Deep Field 10,000 Galaxies

Searching for the faintest objects in the Ultra Deep Field is like trying to find a firefly on the Moon. Light from the farthest objects reached the Hubble telescope in trickles rather than gushers. The orbiting observatory collected one photon of light per minute from the dimmest objects. Normally, the telescope collects millions of photons per minute from nearby galaxies.
It took 400 orbits to make the observations.
The image yields a rich harvest of about 10,000 galaxies.
The whole sky contains 12.7 million times more area than the Ultra Deep Field. To observe the entire sky would take almost 1 million years of uninterrupted observing.

A note to bible-thumpers quoting us pointless bullshit: FUCK OFF. Leave us realists in peace and take your retarded fantasies elsewhere.

[LennyTheLeper]

So what's the alternative, to just turn a blind eye to all of this and not bother trying to search for the answers?

Fuck off.

i love the universe and belive that there is some higher power , eat that you arguing dicks

Hey, Christians and Muslims.

How old is the universe according to you?

6000 years old?

10000 years old?

Let's just hear that again.

How old is the universe?

No ones going anywhere but 6 feet under. The shits hitting the fan at an alarming rate and human kind CANNOT coexist in harmony. It seems possible for more civilized countries but look around at the rest of the world. I hope theres truth in a 2012 theory, in a second coming of crist or muhamed, an apocalypse. Just to have the satisfaction of knowing there is a point to life. "Certainly hope we will, I sure could use a vacation"

@joshgordonclan Well i care about here and now, in 50 years i'll be old and grumpy, also i doubt we'll be going anywhere in 50 years, maybe mars but for the moment we got bigger problems on our own planet...

[joshgordonclan]

@matrixch88 Your reasoning is very short sighted. You are looking at HERE and NOW. You have no idea what space travel will be like in 50, even 20 years. Think about the Apollo missions -- 50 years before we landed on the moon, no one even imagined the technology that was needed for that. In 50 years, someone may work out a way to travel faster than the speed of light. If God wants man to travel the stars, he will give someone the knowledge to build the technology needed. Just my $0.02... :)

Learning never stops, and this is the field that proves it at best, and if some of you still belive in god or "higher power" whatever floats your boat, don't you think that IF god made so many planets and so many stars he would want us to travel'em and meet our "Brothers?" oh no wait, we can't even get over killing our own human brothers, it's a world in which we all could live decent lives, but trough history the nobles (aka politicians + economy fools) and the clergy made the masses poor...

@LennyTheLeper Why can't faith and science be as one...Every endeavor that moves us forward as humankind has and always will take a leap of faith and the ultimate goal for both is finding truth.

@justcruzzinn NOMNOMNOM I LOVE COCK

[tonebone8]

lol your right

[tonebone8]

why do you get to say what matters and what don't...
