(58,785 posts)be a draw. I was totally charmed, and impressed, when he said he never goes outside without looking at the sky.
Space is almost all emptiness beyond imagining, though. I'd have to look forward to exploring destinations, not just spend the rest of my years cruising through emptiness, which is what that never returning sounds like. After all, if we could slip through tesseracts and get places in fairly short order, we could get home also.
These are ultra deep field galaxies found by focusing the Hubble telescope on a very small area of "empty" night sky. Tens of thousands of them out there in that little area alone, and their light started traveling toward us 400-800 million years ago! Definitely where no man has gone before. (So far as we KNOW...)
Wow!
Fun question, thanks.
