The Hubble Deep Field: The Most Important Image Ever Taken
In 2003, the Hubble Space Telescope took the image of a millenium, an image that shows our place in the universe. Anyone who understands what this image represents, is forever changed by it.
Thanks to ovechkinisgod at the Canucks.com Forum for the link to the video.
That was amazing. What a beautiful use of some Pink Floyd’s Shine on You Crazy Diamond.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that’s the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you’re feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere up in space,
‘Cause there’s bugger all down here on Earth.
- Monty Python – ‘The Galaxy Song
