I have long wondered - how could we tell the difference between the Universe expanding versus contracting into a massive universal black hole with its event horizon being the Big Bang?
Objects further “down” the black hole from us would seem to be receding from us because they are travelling faster than us.
Objects not as far “down” the black hole seem to be receding from us because we are travelling faster than they.

Another mind-boggling image (s) are by the Hubble. Do a DDGo search of “hubble Legacy Field”. There are a family of images that are downloadable of galaxies imaged by the Hubble. These are from a spot in the sky the size of a nickle held at arm’s length. There are hundreds of thousands.
The only free imaging software I’ve found that can handle the file size is Gimp. Nothing M$ will touch them. Load the software, load the image, and keep increasing the focus — those little pinwheels and globs are millions of stars.
With a really good telescope in your backyard on a clear night you can see only a couple of galaxies.

Reminds me of the ceiling of the old Tampa Theater on Franklin Street. Sort of like taking a sheet of black construction paper, punching a bunch of small holes in it, and then holding it up to a light source.

Maybe in Chicago, NYC or Minnesota, but here in PA it's Summer and Construction. 28° and they're still working out there; I hit 4 construction chokepoints on the way home, this morning.
