Try to wrap your mind around this. Our planet, even our galaxy, is like a tiny speck
of sand on an immense ocean beach. In 1996 astronomers pointed the Hubble Space Telescope at what appeared to be absolutely
nothing and left it there for 10 days; and then, in 2004, they did it again for 11 days.
This time they pointed the Hubble toward another seemingly black,
empty "nothing" area. A narrator describes what Hubble revealed in those areas
of nothingness.
They made the images Hubble recorded into a 3-D presentation.
Remember, the speed of light is 186,000 miles a second. When light travels at
that speed for an entire year, that is equal to one light year.
The meaning of what Hubble found is beyond comprehension. Turn your sound on.
