That could disturb the Oort Cloud.

Rare because not many of them have been seen so far. But program an AI to inspect and sort trillions of dots in billions of photos and you might be right, there could be an infinite amount of galaxy pairs like this in an infinite universe.

[Pez149]

Psalm 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

Amen

[COBOL2Java]

The galaxy in the foreground is 470 billion miles closer to Hubble

Might take a while - I've only got a weekend to travel...

"...does that mean that there is a far edge and beyond that nothing exists yet?"

With a little effort and a TI calculator, maybe you can get some clue to the answer using Albert's equation to solve for the appropriate metric tensor:

R_μν - 1/2g_μνR + g_μνΛ = 8 π G/c⁴T_μν

Where:
R_μν==>Ricci Tensor (Derived from Riemann Tensor)
g==>Metric Tensor
R==>Ricci Curvature Scalar (Derived from Ricci Tensor)
Λ==>lambda = Universal Constant (Expansion/Dark Energy)
π ==> PI (8 decimal places is OK)...
G==>Gravitational Constant
c==>Speed of Light
T==>Stress-Energy Momentum Tensor 😲

Thanks but I already have and it doesn't add up.....

It is ancient history.

It is imagery such as this which gives me pause as to the accuracy of the formulae for arriving at the number of Earth-like planets in the universe.

I have always believed that the number is exponentially high, and that Earth is exceedingly rare.

The reasons ought to be patently obvious but, then again, even some FReepers believe a journey and habitation of Mars is survivable today.
