...10 years of NASA Hubble Space Telescope photographs taken of a patch of sky ... a small fraction of the angular diameter of the full moon.... The faintest galaxies are one ten-billionth the brightness of what the human eye can see.

And some would have you believe it's all just.... coincidence.

I often wonder what the late Carl Sagan thinks about, just now.

It is incredible how nature provides all these convenient 'clues' for us to learn about it. From simple starlight (via spectroscopy) we can determine a star's chemical composition, its temperature, its motion, its distance, on and on. We'd never be able to know these things otherwise. The nearest star, aside from the Sun, is roughly 25 trillion miles away.

Poor guy is probably spinning in his grave over the catastrophic damage obama has done to our space program.

About the eternal torment he's suffering now... is that what you're getting at?

Does that get your juices flowing?
