This image, captured with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, is the largest and sharpest image ever taken of the Andromeda galaxy otherwise known as M31. This is a cropped version of the full image and has 1.5 billion pixels. You would need more than 600 HD television screens to display the whole image. It is the biggest Hubble image ever released and shows over 100 million stars and thousands of star clusters embedded in a section of the galaxy's pancake-shaped disc stretching across over 40 000 light-years. |

That is wet aggregate and someone is shining 2 lasers on it. Most of that NASA $$ went in someone's pocket.

Shouldn't that file size be a lot bigger than 2 MB? I seem to remember the hubble deep field from DECADES ago being 30+ MB. Is there a full resolution available somewhere?

NGC 300 is roughly the same size and density as the Milky Way. 6 million light years away, whole species could have come and gone by the time their light reaches us.

Quote HistoryQuoted: We are not alone. Scientists who think we are alone with those kinds of odds are nuts. We are not special. The ingredients of earth are everywhere. Everything we see is made up of the same elements. The probability of life beyond Earth are guaranteed. We have just started trying to find it or be found ourselves but eventually we will do one or the other. The odds might be so low that there may only be 8 to 15 other intelligent lifeforms in our galaxy but I bet most solar systems have at the least some form of pond scum. I would bet the the great divide for intelligent life is just giving it the right environment for a long enough time. It took Earth 4 billion years with 500 million years of a stable earth to get us here. So give the right planet 300m - 1b years and you will probably see advanced life. |

I was expecting more stars
Jk Edit: That image is amazing. Whether I'm stargazing or looking at pictures like that, it always brings this verse to mind: "The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. 2 Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. I don't look at that I think, " wow, that just happened," I see that and go, "that if freaking beautiful, God is an amazing artist." I'm thankful we get to view stuff God made that most people never even knew was up there. |

Even if we had a .00000000000000000001% chance of becoming multi celled organisms, that would mean there are untold millions of other races out there. |

To Trin Tragula's horror, the shock completely annihilated her brain; but to his satisfaction he realized that he had proved conclusively that if life is going to exist in a Universe of this size, then the one thing it cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion.

We know of exactly one planet with life at the moment out of all places we've looked so far. Seems like it should be possible or even likely but we really don't know until we've found example of life #2. Once we have that then we can say that we have both a rough numerator and denominator for determining the frequency of life. |

I will never understand why we think the idea of life in other planets is a good thing.
Life is based on, and dependent upon, dominating and consuming other forms of life. |
