Wow, a real total perspective vortex you posted there




SternSkipper -> RE: 3D map of the universe (6/4/2011 9:53:40 PM)

What's kind of humbling is that this is the complete universe ONLY based on the technological capability we have to see it at this time. What's utterly amazing is the fact that it's more that 1000 times the universe we could see 20 years ago.

Wow, and 43-45,000 Galaxies!
The Milky Way, our galaxy is 100,000 light years across! And there are surely much larger ones.

The beauty and wonder of creation is a source of amazement that has no end for me. I thank you for this post GreedyTop.

Be at peace

DeviantMan -> RE: 3D map of the universe (6/5/2011 5:01:28 AM)

It's terrorising... to think how insignificant all of us are. we are one planet in a approximate sum of a few billion solar systems... we're not even neutrons in that comparison...




gungadin09 -> RE: 3D map of the universe (6/5/2011 5:41:14 AM)

It is not the slightest bit terrorising, because i can't picture it. It's just a bunch of pretty colors on a screen.

Space is infinite, it is dark
Space is neutral, it is cold
Stars occupy minute areas of space
They are clustered a few billion here
And a few billion there
As if seeking consolation in numbers
Space does not care, space does not threaten
Space does not comfort
It does not speak, it does not wake
It does not dream
It does not know, it does not fear
It does not love, it does not hate
It does not encourage any of these qualities
Space cannot be measured, it cannot be
Angered, it cannot be placated
It cannot be summed up, space is there
Space is not large and it is not small
It does not live and it does not die
It does not offer truth and neither does it lie
Space is a remorseless, senseless, impersonal fact
Space is the absence of time and of matter

Black Corridor.

and then there is the question of exploration (which we will surely have to do to survive, we have not the resources to last much longer on this pebble)

I would rather the fire storms of atmospheres
Than this cruel descent from a thousand years
of dreams, into the starkness of the capsule.
Where two of our crew still lay suspended cool
in their tombs of sleep.
Those nagging choirs of memory
the tubes and wires
worming from their flesh to machinery
I would have to cut
Such midwifery is but one function of the leader here

Floating in a sac of fluid dark
A clear century of space
Away from Earth
While one man stares from the trauma of his birth
Attending to the hypno-tapes
Assuring him
that this was reality however grim
Our journey's end.

Landing itself was nothing
We touched upon a shelf of rock
selected by the automind
And left a galaxy of dreams behind.....

smartass :)

How've ya been?  *hugs*  missed seeing you around!!




darchChylde -> RE: 3D map of the universe (6/5/2011 7:51:17 AM)

Life getting steadily rougher, but attitude getting better in fits and starts.  Lately came to some decisions and taken some first steps which have helped me to see a way out.

Btw:  I can't find you on the other side anymore; *pouts* you've always been one of my favorite pervees.




GreedyTop -> RE: 3D map of the universe (6/5/2011 7:59:04 AM)
