The Hubble Ultra Deep Field in 3D

I've recently discovered an animation that was rendered using the measured redshift of all 10,000 galaxies in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field image.

I've written a short script that leads you through a quick history of both deep field images and this video ends with a fly-through of the Ultra Deep Field.

Every galaxy in the image is in its proper distance as viewed from the telescope line of sight.

As if this image wasn't amazing enough.

don`t know if we should be happy because its likely we are not alone - or sad because we`ll probably never find out if there are others who are also looking up in the sky...

Yes I agree, I am in no way a "religious" person by conventional means, nor am I agnostic, atheist, or a nihilist. I only mentioned God because of the comment above my original comment. The universe is actually to massive and complex to understand in a general concept. That is what makes it so amazing to me. Just the fact that time moves like a river and is not a constant is mind blowing. But yes there is much more interesting, factual, things to discuss besides religion.

To think that there is a vast amount of life on the earth; that there's liquid water on Jupiters moon Europa and potentially h2o in liquid form on mars in it's past. Then to think about the 400 billion stars in the Milky Way which on average host over 1 planets each, with a lot planets circulating in the habitable zone. With another unimaginable 100's of billions of galaxies out there host to the same amount as ours makes me think not "Who else is looking out at space" but "How many...".

Gibberish. Then the best science is ancient mythology. Exolains EVERYTHING with very simple concepts.

[Zepolodon]

did you really expect to not get shit for making claims that have no rounded evidence? You are in an area of youtube that supports facts with intelligent observation, facts that assume the ability to be improved and contradicted as we gain knowledge of the unknown. You are implicating ideology that assumes its right under all context. The time that Christianity ruled the world is called the dark ages for a reason. Religion impedes progress and your comment is a perfect example of that

[bafrank3poc]

So you think that the exclusion of God simplifies? Accepting the premise of Ockham's razor, which I do, then accepting that "God did it" would actually fit more succinctly.

[sleepingeye]

You are right it can't be know, that's why God can't be known, that's why God is a matter of faith and not knowledge. If we knew everything we wouldn't be here, we would be nothing. Nothingness is the only thing that is perfect and all one. Whether nothingness exists or not is a meaningless question. Maybe God is nothingness.

[sleepingeye]

Very true. Both religion and science are sensere endeavours to find out the truth. If there existst a truth, both must come to the same conclusions in the end.

[sleepingeye]

The singularity of the Big Bang, God, call it what you want. Knowledge has limitations and we can always argue about things we don't and can't know.

[VioletGiraffe]

Ever heard of Occam's razor? I guess not.

[bafrank3poc]

If you are open minded, you don't need to exclude God from your picture of the universe.

[bafrank3poc]

You really have no concept of how close religion and science are. The more science learns and the more religion comprehends, coming from what they thought were opposite directions, the closer are their conclusions.
