No intelligent life exists in any of these pictures thus boring.

FYI, I was going for irony.

Love anything like this
Looking at our earth and moon from millions of miles away , just confirm s to me.
That life of many forms are out there only wish I could live a thousand years as to see SOME OF THEM .
Maybe just maybe even though I belive ,
One day soon intelligent life can be found so god is out the window and poeple can learn to live in piece.

I sure hope it exists in this thread.

I think the Pilars of Creation should be in this album aswell!

That picture can really make me think

When you look at the clusters of galaxies from hubble deep field and you think about how many stars there actually are in the universe there is no way earth is the only planet with life. I am 100% convinced there is other intelligent life out there and it's probably prolific. I just hope the first thing we find isn't hostile.

If you liked the pictures in this thread, then you will also definitely like these GIF's that really brings the universe to scale.

Sorry no doom today!

Awwww...I was really looking forward to the doom porn. I guess the Mind boggling beauty of the universe will have to do for now.

The hubble deep field never ceases to amaze me. To think that image only covers an area the tenth the size of the moon...imagine how much we'd find if we could scan the entire sky.

What's even more mind boggling is that some scientists will see that image and still argue that we are alone in the universe.

Well technically, If the universe truly is infinite, we would be the center of the universe. Everywhere would be the center of the universe.

There is already a video showing the scale of the universe at the bottom of the OP, no gifs needed...

Really all of startrek in one galaxy? that nuts!

I showed my son these pics and I commented that people don't believe life exists in space, he responded well we do so why wouldn't others....

Out of the mouths' of babe's ..... children always seem to come out with some amazing logic - the lack of cynicism is a gift we seem to lose as the years role by and we become super intelligent and all knowing.

All scientific, political and religious considerations aside, my personal feelings are that images such as these are every bit as valuable as the extremely old archeological information that occasionally come to light. The argument against space technology seems to always gravitate toward the expense. If there were a way to divide the expense between just those of us alive at this moment on our special little ball of blue, how could anyone say the cost was too high?

Money is spent on many foolish and destructive things. All of Man should have the chance to sit and try to appreciate and internalize images such as these.

Could not have said it better myself. .. not to mention the fact that we can mine precious minerals and resources in space... helium and gold on the moon. .. and asteroids made entirely of diamond. ..yes money may not be an issue after all

So can we see these galaxies colliding in real time?

Can we perceive the movements? Or are they moving too slow?

Would be interesting to see.

Spectacular Hubble view of Centaurus A image doesn't work, otherwise great thread

Great Pictures

And I now have a new desk top back ground

It works for me...sometimes it wont load on mobile devices, also a sketchy data connection may be the culprit, try reloading from a desktop..

Im pretty sure we can image all of this in real time, and im also certain that the hubble isnt the best of what we have....I think the govt has technology to essentially take realtime videos of high res far away galaxies.....Can we read a license plate on saturn yet? Probably.
