Billion upon billions of stars. All the big stars in this picture are foreground stars in our own galaxy and alot of other galaxys in the background. Their picture would look much the same if someone in that galaxy was looking at us, one of those tiny points of glowing stars being their "Sun".

Thank you for posting this: it's an amazing picture. Puts our minuscule planet and its problems into perspective.

So, uh, can we have your liver then?

Great photo! To think of everything that could be out there that we don't know anything about is mind-numbing. Pictures like this just confirm that we still have a lot to learn. Thanks.

Why? Is yours getting a heavy workout today? Posting comments like that, it sure sounds like it.

That is exactly right. Our Sun is one star. There are billions of stars in our galaxy. And there are billions of galaxies in the universe. The numbers are just too large for the human brain to comprehend. So are the odds....

Hubble is wonderful, but this new generation of telescope may be much better.......We live in good times.

I am surprised the ACLU hasn't come forward to sue NASA for offending Mexicans.

Well, AJC, with the day I'm having, I wouldn't mind a nip from the ole flask. But my comment was in reference to a Monty Python bit in case you're wondering.
