Something Worth Knowing

Is science able to explain to you how we kind of gallop around as a species and about 100 years ago we begin to obtain actual images of space, and 30 years ago we point a Hubble telescope out there and see evidence of images of galaxies so far away that the distance is measured in light years?   How do you compare these images with written explanations begun a few hundred years ago?   How many galaxies do you suppose are "out there"?   Think about what all this is.   Does it have a meaning?    Do we need to have a meaning, or can we just accept it and move on to other issues that science can explain?  By the way, there is the James Webb Space Telescope which offers more information about what is out there.   Check it out.

Hubble Deep Field

In early 1996, astronomers had the idea to point Hubble at "empty" space for a long time and see what emerged. The result is the Hubble Deep Field, a detailed image of hundreds of distant galaxies. Turns out it wasn't so empty after all.
