Hubble Deep-Field

[Dave Darling]

Maybe you have seen this before but I thought I would post it here- it is the Hubble Ultra Deep-Field. Years ago NASA commanded the Hubble Space Telescope to take a picture of deep-space, as far out as it could go. This picture is what they saw! Each little dot is a galaxy. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is about 100,000 light-years across, meaning it would take 100,000 years to cross it from side to side at the speed of light, the highest possible speed according to the laws of physics. (671,000,000 miles per hour).This is 600,000 trillion miles across! There are close to 10,000 galaxies in this picture and it only covers an area of the sky the size of a grain of sand held at arms-length, they zoomed in as far as the telescope could go! The size of God's creation is beyond belief!

At a large-enough scale, the texture and appearance of the cosmos is like foam...

Yes, truly beyond awesome.

Hi @Dave Darling

And still, with all of our 'technologically advanced telescopes' the heavens continue to declare the glory of God! May He be forever and ever praised! Amen.

God bless,
Ted

Hi @Lazarus Short

One of the really awesome truths I see when I view a photograph such as this is how all of those billions upon billions of stars and planets have danced around for some 6,000 years without there appearing to be any kind of crash. Every heavenly body has its course and stays that course without interference of any other heavenly body's course. How very, very wise is our God!

God bless,
Ted
