The most amazing to me is the immense number of galaxies as shown in Wide Field surveys from the Hubble.

Some of those images are so awe-inspiring that they humble me in ways I can't even describe.

I think the odds against our being in this particular universe are 1 in 1720. (See also the 2nd law of thermal documents.)

I’ve read that some scientists now believe that the universe is far bigger than what we have observed so far.

The most intriguing question to me, about the universe is— “Where is it?” Are we in a singularity? Are we on someone’s desk? Not just how did we get here, what are we made of, but fundamentally, where the hell is the universe?
