30 Photos That Put The Mystery Of Our Existence Into Stark Perspective



21. Ten billion light years away is the amazing spiral galaxy known as UDF 423 (Ultra Deep Field). If you were to view this image through a powerful telescope right now here on Earth, that would actually make it 10 billion years old.

22. Everything that we’ve seen in space through our various forms of exploration only represents a small fraction of the universe. To think there’s so much unexplored territory out there is actually quite mind-blowing.

23. As an example of just how vast the universe truly is, we’re going to start with the perspective of earth, and then zoom out from there. Are you ready? To us, our planet seems huge. After all, it’s where we all live, right?

24. From the Earth, we zoom out even further to get to the Solar System. You may see all the names of the planets on the scale, but you’re not going to see much of them physically. They look like little specks from here.

25. A little further out, you’ll see a perspective of the Solar Interstellar Neighborhood, or the local Fluff, a cloud that stretches roughly 30 light years across the entire universe. Our solar system currently moves through it, too.
