"NASA Has Released The Largest Picture Ever Taken And It Will Shake Up Your Universe .

Have you seen the largest picture ever taken? For the record, it's a mammoth 1.5 billion pixel image (69, 536 x 22, 230) and requires about 4.3 GB disk space. Oh, and it'll take your breath away.

On January 5, NASA released an image of the Andromeda galaxy, our closest galactic neighbor, captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The full image is made up of 411 Hubble images, takes you through a 100 million stars and travels over more than 40,000 light years. Well, a section of it anyway."

Thanks for posting that ! As an amateur astronomer, I can really appreciate that. There's probably a few telescopes out there looking back at us as well !

For sure. To think we are the only ones in this universe is as dumb as thinking the earth is only 10K years old.

There's billions of galaxies out there. Now, they're even thinking there are multiple universes too. Just blows your mind on how they come up with that.

words become meaningless. I don't know which is more unsettling; the fact that I cannot comprehend the vastness of space or the fact that I am able to realize that I cannot comprehend the vastness of space.
