That image looks like the one from the hubble telescope on the horizon programme I've just watch on BBC4.

It’ll be interesting to hear what they think they’ve discovered from this as, like you, I’ve not seen much that the Hubble has already shown.

I’m sure there’ll be loads to see when they’ve analysed the data.

They’re releasing more images today I believe with the telescope turned up to full power.

It should be amazing. It could be mind blowing.

Crazy that light from those galaxies has traveled for over 13 billion years.

Crazy that light from those galaxies has traveled for over 13 billions years.

And that the sound won’t be here for billions more.

It’s mad that you’re looking at history in the sky. Some of what you see wont exist anymore.

Perspective is lost from photos.

And to think we are looking back in time at these Galaxies as they were millions of years ago -a Space and Time incomprehensible when there wasn’t even a notion of our Solar System let alone us, our Solar System and the Earth

It always freaks me out this looking back In time business with the Speed of Light etc

It’s pretty mind blowing when you zoom in on all those galaxies….insane really.

I have a fairly good grasp of the basics.
Space is up.

The big data release is tomorrow (12th July) as a birthday gift for me. Nice of them to schedule it like that.

Just goes to prove that the Earth is flat with a sparkly ceiling.
