The fact that we are able to detect galaxies as they were a mere 300 million years after the creation of the universe is mind numbing.

The light emitted by HD1 is as it was over 13 billion years ago. Crazy.

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

Adams had it right.

That fibrous look at the top of the image, is that what the universe looked like, or would sill look like from a sufficient distance?
