The Universe is AWESOME!

In the image above taken by the Hubble Space Telescope there are 10,000 visible galaxies each containing billions and billions of stars.

If you took a needle out and held it to the night sky and looked through the hole on the end - that is the equivalent portion of space in the picture.

To cover the whole sky the same techique would have to be used roughly 40,000,000 times.

Uranus is awesome.

It is indeed OP. That’s why I’ve had an interest in astronomy since I was about 17.

Just look at this close up image of the atmosphere of the planet Jupiter, taken by the orbiting Juno probe. Surreal!!:cool:

I fcuking hate that word. Fascinating, incredible, amazing, spectacular, magnificent, etc, but awsome? Septics have ruined that word through overuse and trivialitization.

The little Milky Way alone is flush with billions of potentially habitable planets - and that's just one sliver of the universe (there are billions of other galaxies to choose from).

In total around about 6 sextillion (x21 zeros) possible habitable planets in the universe, more than there is individual specs/grains of sand on all of the earths beaches combined.

I would say this is the epitome of awesome.

Stars are like people. They are born, they live and they die.

Our Sun will have a pretty bad result for us but not a Supernova at least as it does not have the size or mass. Stars are like people. They are born, they live and they die.

Ah old sunny still has a few billion years of hydrogen left to burn. I'll be well dead thankfully! (I hope anyway!!)

Ah, it's alright..

Tarantula Nebula is a star nursery producing many super massive stars which will go on to create black holes which will devour us all.

Kermit.de.frog · 18-04-2018 9:19am

Carina Nebula nursing infant stars.

Do flat earthers think the Universe is flat as well?

You insinuated that the word doesn't apply with regard to the subject matter of the thread. It most definitely does apply.

I like to think that with the heat death of the universe after all the stars burn out nothing will be left except the litany of blackholes which have grabbed all the matter they can over trillions of years. Trillions of years later, with no matter left to attract, these same blackholes will eventually come together to form an unimaginably enormous solitary black hole. The singularity at it's centre becoming literally the centre of the universe. Due to quantum fluctuations at it's event horizon, this remaining blackhole, which contains all of the matter the universe once contained will slowly reduce in size over another spate of a few trillion years. In time, it will just become a singularity where time itself stops. Who knows it might, after another trillion years this singularity, now the size of an atom, might just explode and go through the whole process again. And again. And again.........

garbo speaks · 18-04-2018 12:33pm

All of this has happened before, and it will all happen again.

If the universe is expanding than what is it expanding in to?

It will be big bang 2.....

The big bang we know of could have been big bang 9 or 28!!!!!

The Universe is AWESOME!
