In this thread, let us talk about the amazing things out there in the cosmos.
My mind melts just thinking about it.
We can share videos, pictures, information, and findings in this thread. Here are some to get us started:

It started out as a simple experiment, a shot in the dark if you will (pun intended). The plan was to point the Hubble Space Telescope at a completely dark patch in the sky (covering the area of about a pinhead held at arm's length) for an exposure of just under a million seconds across ~two weeks. Every dot, spot, and wedge in that picture is a galaxy - 10,000 of them in all! Keep in mind that the average galaxy has between 10,000,000 and 1,000,000,000,000 stars.
