Knight, came in at 9 o'clock and stayed until 12:30.  I'll try to come back in tomorrow night, same time.  Cheesy

Knight, if you read this, I'm sorry I was late getting into the chat.  I completely forgot today was Friday (week's been kinda chaotic).

Hi folks, sorry for my absence lately. I had a virus on my PC that I was just able to fix. I'm back now.

Kinda makes you feel small and insignificant, also makes you really think about our place in the universe

Seeing this made me think of something I saw on Bad Astronomy the other day.

You can vote on an object for Hubble to check out.  I'm partial to the colliding galaxies.  Vote now!

The Hubble Telescope is such a cool piece of technology.
It just strikes you, if you look at a picture and think "oh wow, they took another picture of the stars in our galaxy" and then you realize, all those light dots are galaxies. It strikes you even more, when you think about, that this picture is taken from a piece of space, that appears totally black to us.
It's so... overwhelming.

Everything done with a telescope, that couldn't take clear pictures of an imagined Battlestar orbiting earth at the beginning. 2,5 µm of divergence, pfff...

I remember when you showed me that vid.

It does make you feel small. Though really makes you think that we've only scatched the surface of understanding the universe.

ely cool is I have an uncle who is a retired NASA scientist. He was involved in the Mars lander and the Centure rocket. I love when I get the chance to discuss things like this with him. He can easily baffle me with his knowledge of it all. On the good side he can also dumb it down so I can understand like the people in both of these videos.
Oh and by the way he is a strong believer that we are not alone in the universe. According to him the odds of us being alone out there are so slim it is not worth talking about. He says there are so many planets out there there must be life elsewhere.

10,000 galaxies in one dark patch of space, is just astounding.

Can you imagine what we could discover once we actually get out there, or what we could see with an even more powerful telescope.

we are just now able to spot planets so with a more powerful scope it would be even better. we might get an idea if they are habatible or not.

If you click on the link below it will take you to the Hubble site.  The image kinda reminds me of the Eye of Jupiter from the episode Rapture
