Hubble eXtreme Deep Field
 

Now, Hubble has done it again. 2004 they released one of perhaps the most famous astronomical images, "Hubble Ultra Deep Field".
Now, nine years later, releasing one more Deep Space image.

EXtreme Hubble Deep Field. It has accumulated over ten years of data and around 2 million seconds of exposure to an area of less than HUDF (Hubble Ultra-Deep Field).
In the picture you can see over 5500 galaxies in an area of ​​the sky that is only part of the full moon's size.

On the picture there are even some record holders:
UDFj-39546284, at a redshift of 10.3, is a candidate for the most distant galaxy yet discovered, though it is awaiting spectroscopic confirmation
Supernova Primo, at a redshift of 1.55, the most distant type Ia supernova ever observed
UDFy-38135539, at a redshift of 8.6, is the most distant galaxy to have had its distance independently corroborated with spectroscopy

it looks like the mirror when i sneeze while brushing my teeth

EVERYTHING you see in that picture is an entire galaxy, like ours Milky Way galaxy, some much bigger. Thats galaxy not solar system..:pimp

we need to get off this planet asap lol

Infinite galaxies... Im so fucking smart in one of those galaxies..

Never quite believed that one.. I mean, even if there's an unlimited number of galaxies out there a narrow pattern could be repeated over and over again, so there really is no planet with nothing but blue people.

How many areas of that size would it take to cover the entire field of view from Earth?

Multiply by 5500.

Amazing :)

Infinite means, infinite number of possibilities, and as hard as it is to believe, there is a smart and/or smarter example of you out there. And one of them also understands this better than you. So cheer up :1orglaugh

I wonder how the edge of univers is like

I mean, there has to be an end to it. when you travel in one direction really really far, do you hit a wall? It's sounds stupid but everything must have an end, it cant just go on and on indefinitely.

Just thinking about it makes me confused.

Whats behind the wall? Or how long does it goes?

Huh this is to easy... :1orglaugh

The insane thing is that, even after seeing that picture, there are still people who think we're alone in this universe.

This is a very fascinating episode of 'The Universe' where they explore the concept of a creator.

Cool question! Are you confused or astonished by the results?

We are biological machines created by something we can not comprehend. Humans trying to understand this stuff is like trying to explain to your dog how to program a website.

What we see visually and touch physically isn't really there. Your brain tells you it's there. Other people can come along and see it. But that's only because the "creator" makes it available for humans to process.

Imagine if a few hard drives you own had consciousness, but not enough to recognize that we exist. They would view themselves as being in control of the data being written to the disk - what gets written and where they write it. The hard drive wouldn't be able to grasp the concept of someone pushing buttons deciding what gets written and that they are merely living within parameters set up by us and not truly in control of the data they send to one another. Now apply that to human existence.

What's behind that "wall" of the "big bang" is something that no human can process no matter how it was explained to us.

I like it, go on ..

:1orglaugh

You like it because he broke down to hard drives and data.

Close eyes. Press on eyeball with finger for 30 secs.

Same effect.
