I always wondered, if the universe is infinite or it branches out into infinite universes, then anything you think exists must. For example there must be an entire planet of Nancy Pelosis, or as we know it here on earth: Hell. Or there must be a Captain Kirk out there with a Spock and Bones flying around in an Enterprise. Or democrats with common sense. OK, maybe that’s going too far, that’s impossible.
Thanks for posting.
What you're looking at is evidence of a massive galaxy merger that happened 11.5 billion years ago.
I wish there was some way to see what it looked like over the 11.5 billion years since then.
Jaw drop indeed. With all that is going on “out there” I am amazed that there is life on Earth at all.
I worked at the Kecks for ten years.
I was always a history buff and that is what
Astronomy is; History, much of it very ancient.
I had always had this nagging question in my mind,
other than navigation, what has astronomy done to
improve our lives?
I hope this does not happen to our galaxy. We will be crying for spilled milk.
That’s one hungry hole.
Is one a Trump-supporting MAGA galaxy assaulting a new transgender-galaxy? Do we need to transform our government to prevent this in the future? How much did Climate Change cause this to happen?
sorry... maybe it’s due to a life in construction but seeing the blurry blobs and reading their explanation, I, in no way, can see anything they are hypnotizing!! To see any movement at all at that distance would be 100s of years.
I dont buy any of it!! just take the pictures in focus the best you can and then STFU with the rest of it. just how the heel can they tell GALAXIES depicted in different colors are moving at different speeds!!!???
I should been a space artist.
Something being viewed now which is 11.5 BILLION Light Years away—— happened a very very long time ago.
That is to say it happened 11.5 BILLION years ago from thie present viewing. So, uh we’re still here so it must not have been anything which would have STOPPED the development of life on Earth. So why so much excitement-— it’s a really old re-run.
If only the aliens had paid more taxes there would not be a black hole swallowing up their galaxy...
...but our SUVs will destroy the planet...
Universal accelerated expansion is driven by expanding space. This would also mean that space is accelerated-ly shrinking the event horizons and accretion disks around black holes, and introducing more mass into 3-dimensional space at an accelerating rate.
Ford stopped making the Galaxie in 1974 and the last Quasar TVs were make in 2005.
We can see things 11.5 billion light years away but can’t know who won an election on election night. Yea, right.
