Yes 👍

Thanks for including the article. It was very helpful in understanding the image. It makes the image much clearer.

and They say we're Alone Too Fucking out here Funny! let's Hope They're Not Republicans.

is the 7.3 billion lightyears light-travel distance or proper distance?

😳

That’s when one feels smaller than a speck of dust.

Many of us here.

You just ain’t all that🤷‍♂️

This is why I believe in a higher power much bigger than the human interpretation of God.

Just wow

Thanks!

The scale just makes my head hurt...

Far, far away?

That is so cool! Sometimes, I feel like a little kid when I'm scrolling through all the posts covering all kinds of neat stuff! Bluesky people are amazing.

Incredible…

Space big

No, they are not here to be our "saviors" or gods. We are our own saviors and they are just overseers. We need to clean up our own mess, to deal with the consequences of our choices, thoughts, behaviors and actions to learn from them (e.g. poor leaders, wars, pollution, inequality, etc.).

We really don't know that for sure, unfortunately. I sure as hell hope so, however. We are apparently bent on destroying ourselves here on planet Earth.

It's a bit scary TBH.

And it’s only looking in one direction. There are as many stars behind the camera as in front.

😳😮😃

no matter how many places there are, we're all stuck in this darkest of timelines. #Community

Phenomenal.

So still hope that there may be intelligent life in the universe? Because I’m having doubts about that here these days.

"Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark."

Stephen Hawking and Monty Python. Perfect. youtu.be/XfcC6FYyL4U?...

Yeah, the universe will get along just fine, with or without us.

One of these galaxies has a star, that has a planet, that has a moon and there is a little rock and no one will ever pick it up. Tell me, why are you there, little rock?

Looks like a very crowded neighborhood!

I can’t even get my head around this. Amazing.

It’s an image of Endless Possibilities. Curiosity: Hope: Awe

It truly is incomprehensible how big our universe actually is 🤯

Wow

to infinity and beyond

Low bar on the wiser.

Surely we CANNOT be alone! #TheTruthIsOutThere

I was careful to say, “looking in our direction,” not “looking at us.” They would see our galaxy as it was millions or billions of years ago, depending on distance.

I think the more evolved are helpers.

Do you think they’re all embarrassed by Trump, too?

Makes all this nonsense happening on Earth seem even more dumb. No wonder aliens don't want to talk to us.

~ ~ The universe is very mind boggling. Such vast amounts of space makes us feel very small. Because we are.

I took astronomy in college (eons ago) and even without these amazing photos, it was a subject that routinely 🤯

And some drooling muppets think gods put it all there for them.

Where does the highest priority lie? In mobilising All for Earth. The central mission of all we do at this critical moment i the life of the biosphere. No destiny, evolution, innovation, progress, culture or technology matters. It's not 'earth for all' but the precise opposite - all4earth.life.

But they still will saw we are the only intelligent life in the universe. 😂😂😂

A mere speck in the cosmos

Mario gonna be exploring for a while.

So many other places to live…

Amazing!

Now wrap your head around that one. Blows my mind

This confirms my theory that the universe is actually made of aquarium gravel. Also, I need new glasses.

Too many IMO

Teaming with life.

We are definitely not alone.

Mind boggling

A Galaxy with unknown amounts of Solar Systems.

Lemme guess...and this is a portion of sky equivalent in size to that of a dime held at arms length...

Yes it’s incredible isn’t it hard to get your head around it amazing photo we are so tiny speck in the universe 😊

🤩🤩🤩

100% there is a species out there, watching us, and saying to themselves… what a bunch of fuckin’ assholes on that planet! Stay Away at All Cost! #Earth #People #Universe #Space

○

Everything else is a black hole that radiates so much energy that it is visible over billions of years and googleplexes of miles 🤷🏾‍♂️

This is one of those things that make be question reality

🙂

Any alien life advanced enough to detect that earth teems with biological life still would know enough to stay far away.

Sure makes all the tribalism of our species seem a bit pointless.

Please tell me that somewhere in all of that vastness is a planet we can escape to and start over.

Right... So look up 😳... wasting our time with stupid stuff 😞

Surely there's a place where we can send Elon and 🤡

I travel In my sleep nightly to an alternate universe:: Earth Very different I have since 8 Im 60 I think its via a worm hole to One of those galaxies

There's plenty of people out there that would suggest that contact has been made over and over again. Visit NUFORC's website sometime and look at their database. Not all reports are UAP or UFO...but there's many that are simply inexplicable.

Darn that speed of light!

May be!

🤯🤩

Though sometimes I wonder. What if for life to happen on just one planet, it takes an entire universe of random chance? As lonely as it would be, Isn't that a possibility too?

The number of stars in our Milky Way alone is mind boggling, not to mention the number of galaxies in the universe. Inconceivable.

Just Wow!

It makes me feel better when I see this photograph

Crazy.

The universe is so awesome 🤩!

Hahaha

And over on the other side of the universe One can see a basic one And over there A super nova

Kinda puts things into perspective…,

Such images remind me of the Olbers paradox. Having infrared helps here.

🤯

Far out

Gotta believe SOMEONE is out there

My existentialism is creepin in… 🫠

!

ANUPADAKA

Wowza. This makes the Hubble Deep Field look like a crayon drawing!

Im so happy to be on this side of Bluesky. It really lends perspective to this metaphysically burdened human rights lawyer (me; it's me).

Crazy

Only the dozen or so stars in the image are in the milky-way. Everything else is far outside.

And we’re the ONLY living intelligence in all of it, RIGHT?? BWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

😮😮😮😮😮

The word awesome has been terrifically overused in recent years. The size of the universe truly deserves the adjective.

Thanks for sharing. That's cool.

Nobody created that something.

Came here to say this. It does not compute.

That comes second for me. The most difficult thing for my human mind to grasp is how the fuck did the orange shitstain become president. 😢😢😢
