The most important photo ever taken?

This video is really interesting.

How big is the universe? There is some discussion down in the IMO section, but this video is important to all of us. It's about what NASA calls "The most important photo ever taken."

Photo of the Universe

Yes, the geek playing in the video is supposed to be there.

Awesome.

Spooky.

Incredible.

Scary.

We don't know anything.

Thanks for posting!

Thanks for posting that video. It kind of changes your perspective on how big the universe actually is.

That is incredible! It's hard to even comprehend that. Thanks for sharing.

I'm an astronomer-wannabe, and even worked as a volunteer for Carl Sagan during a conference years ago... so I know a little bit about this stuff, and it still just completely dazzles me! Once you really absorb the perspective this video provides, your whole way of thinking is inevitably changed. Thanks for sharing this!

INCREDIBLE!!!

I've always thought there was no way in heck we were the only ones!!! Amazing! I just hope that we find life in another galaxy in my lifetime. That would be amazing!

Even where there is nothing, there are THOUSANDS of galaxies!!! That last picture was fascinating! With the bright yellow pinwheel (?) galaxy!

I knew the universe was big but WOW. I am completely blown away by this.
