I don't know why space doesn't fascinate me I simply don't care .. anyway 8***

That's okay. Everyone has things they are/are not interested in. What are you interested in?

brb space does not interest me, but posts in space related thread

[Wallhart5]

Reading this thread and a plane flew overhead. Don't know why but Gave me goosebumps!

Love space but I got so into it it started to freak me out.

Always believed there is something out there but that special thing that gives life a conscience may just not exist elsewhere

Humans have lost touch with the stars because if light pollution. People have lost their way and not though about the real important things in life











... Apart from smashing bish's of course

Dude, YOU ARE "whats out there". You are made out of stardust. Death is nothing to us and every atom in your body will exist for eternity.

Take into consideration that the images we are looking at, are millions of light years old as well. If you were to look at the same areas in our current time they would look completely different. This pictures are literally a look into the past of the universe. We have learned so much from the Hubble telescope, can't wait for the James Webb Telescope to be in space, this thing is going to open up our understanding of the universe even more. Mind = Blown

i never understood this. if they are in the past, where are we in this situation? are we in the past too? is there anything in the future if we look in the opposite direction ??? wtf? is it the past and the future at the same time!?!?!? WTF EXPLAIN!?!

The objects you look at in the sky are in current time/arenolongerthere, but your observation on them is different because of how light travels. So if something is 1 light-year away, you will be observing it 1 year in the past. 13,000,000,000 and you'll be observing it 13 billion years into the past.


So you literally could be looking at something that no longer is in its current form/died. It's pretty cool to think about that. If observers had the technology to look at earth 5 billion years into the past, they would not see it. It would take roughly another billion years until they could even observe earth.

Also, light travels at 5,878,630,000,000 miles a year, just to give you an idea of how far these objects really are.

jronix posted a good explanation, here's another link with more of the same that might also help.

Does anyone have deep space pics without any enhancements?

also wondering about this

I have read this over and over, but it is just so hard to put in perspective to really comprehend.

Feels ok, man. It's part of the mystery in my opinion. Maybe you were born a bit too early, but it is better than being born after it's all over. I can't think of something that people know 100% everything about that is still interesting. If we were born too late, maybe the universe wouldn't be interesting at all?

Very true. In fact if we were born later we wouldn't be able to observe anything as every galaxy in the universe would have moved so far away from us that we would think we are the only Galaxy in the Universe.

Also if this is no one of the most epic videos you have seen I will say "hee"

MUST WATCH



We are so phucking insignificant

A ring-shaped nebula formed by an expanding shell of gas around an aging star.

then why is it called a planetary nebula? it clearly has nothing to do with planets per se?

Yeah that's a great picture. It's one of my favorite in the thread.

That's a good question. I Google'd it - you should do the same except more in depth and then get back to us.

Space is a myth.

This stuff keeps me up at night.

Anything death or space related will have me pondering for hours on why, how, etc. I just want to know the answers.
