Yeh I don't get it either, it woulda been better without the nuna nuna video.....

I almost started crying at what the video brought up;

We are not alone. The odds are just too high for us NOT to be. Millions of galaxies each with hundreds of millions of stars, many supporting their own solar systems...plus, the picture was beautiful in itself.

Hubble Deep Field

Hubble Ultra Deep Field

For viewing without having to see through the noise of heavy video compression.

And when you look at how HUGE the universe is, it (IMO) is ludicrous to think WE are the only intelligent life there is...

If we leave now, we can get there in 78 billion years!

I'll pack sandwiches. You bring some sodas.

The Hubble Ultra Deep Field contains about 10,000 galaxies. And it's a tiny area:

"In ground-based photographs, the patch of sky in which the galaxies reside (just one-tenth the diameter of the full Moon) is largely empty. Located in the constellation Fornax, the region is so empty that only a handful of stars within the Milky Way galaxy can be seen in the image."

So look at the full moon, visualize a spot 1/10th that size, and in that tiny spot reside 10,000 galaxies. Now project that across the entire sky, and around to below the horizon. Pretty damn many galaxies, each with tens or hundreds of billions of stars.

That was really interesting.
