This image is called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), and it's the deepest anyone has ever seen into space. A one million second exposure. They estimate that there are over 10,000 galaxies in this image, and the light began traveling toward Earth billions of years ago. Some of the galaxies seen are the first to have formed shortly after the Big Bang. The first goddamn thing to exist ever. Is in this fucking picture. It is so cool and kickass that I actually have to go the bathroom.
I've been reading about this and looking at it for days and I still can't wrap my head around it. This is nothing. There is so so so so much more to see. They compared this image to looking through an 8 foot long straw into the sky. That's how much and how little you can see.
Goddammit the Hubble telescope is awesome. I would marry it. Fuck fuck fuck that is awesome.
