The most important image ever taken [youtube]

I feel so insignificant

In 2003, the Hubble Space Telescope took the image of a millennium, an image that shows our place in the universe.

Is it a total perspective vortex? Douglas Adams ftw.

Hehe just read up on it. Well I guess anything is possible

I thought it was pretty important when we landed on Europa (ice moon orbiting Jupiter)

I mean the physics involved to land on a moving object the way they did is insane.

Surely there must be life out there, but who knows if theres another civilisation wondering the same thing staring at the sky with blanc faces.

Hopefully that earth like planet they found a couple of months ago gets a good look at, and we find some kind of life on it.

"It's 20 light-years away and so we won't be going there anytime soon, but with new kinds of propulsion technology that could change in the future. And obviously we'll be training some powerful telescopes on it to see what we can see," Some scientisty bloke said...

It makes you feel insignificant when you realise that there are more planets in the universe than blades of grass on the earth.
