What you see here is an image of the universe, about 500 million years after the big bang 13.7 million years ago. You are seeing a universe in chaos. You are seeing the past. And we’re just getting a glimpse of it now thanks to the Hubble Telescope, with it’s new “extreme” view of history, peering deep into the past like no other piece of technology that has existed– at least that we know of.
If you sit and contemplate this image long enough, you won’t be able to not just sit in amazement at the big picture of this picture. What are we ? who are we ..? and WHY are we? All of those questions are now present in my mind as I see this mixture of galaxies and other objects.
Absolutely amazing.
