Awesome video. Sounds kinda cheezy, but in the big scheme of things, the time we are on this planet is like 1 second in comparison to the age of the universe.

Looking at that makes me think that probability alone says there are other intelligent beings somewhere. The Universe is unimaginably big and they are starting to think that there are an infinite number of universes too.

What was there before the big bang?

Cool, but it doesn't make me feel small like the text says. I view it as feeling larger than life instead of feeling smaller since Human science powered by the mind is what allowed us to see that view.

That's why we use abstractions.

Seeing stuff like this is so god damn interesting for me. I'm going back to College next semester, and I'm switching my major to astronomy and the like. I might as well persue a career that I love!

....and all of those gigantic/scientifically unexplainable galactic solar systems evolved from a small dot, the size of a pin-point, billions and billions of years ago......

I love photography, space photography is just ridiculous. FOUR MONTHS? My pictures get blurry over 1/50th at 80mm, I can't imaging four months = )

Thats pretty awesome. I'm trying to find the site where they have some high-res pics that are insanely detailed and what not. Can't find it though
