Sorry if this is a repost--I searched and couldn't find anything. Some of you may have seen this, most of you probably not. I've seen this several times but was watching a special on the universe on History tonight and it made me watch this video again.

It's very humbling to watch and really puts into perspective just how small and insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things. Thought some of you might enjoy this. When I watch it I tend to stress less about the smaller things in life.


Hubble Deep Field: The Most Important Image Ever Taken

 

good post

 

Neat video.. It will almost drive you crazy thinking about some of those things.. it's impossible to comprehend.

 

Very cool. Thanks for posting.

 

Finally, a thread about something important instead of political squabbling! Very good post.

 

Mblouir... great post man

 

I'd like to come back here in a couple hundred years to see what we have discovered out there. Very intriguing! Nice post.

Live long and prosper my fellow F150 members

 

just a shame i only get to live in a time where we just barely scratched the surface whats really out there. i'd love to find out theres other habitable mass out there, and scare ourselves

 

No problem, guys. I enjoy this type of thing.

Johnny/Klitch--I agree. I wish we could know what's out there.

 

This could soo turn into a political squabble.

Good post though, space exploration and Defense should be the top two in the federal budget. It's just so sad America has lost its "cowboy" attitude in space travel and exploration. It dumbfounds me we haven't got anything setup on the moon yet.

 

...and it looks like you'll be the one starting it too.

 

Isn't the Hubble no longer being supported or worked on?

Seems like it's still going.

 

Still going strong. Updated this year in May.
