Members bolty58 Posted July 12, 2022 Members Share Posted July 12, 2022 Listened to Brian Cox this morning. Mind boggling when he tells us that everything in just one photo which contains thousands if not millions of galaxies is like observing a grain of sand on the end of your finger held at arms length in comparison to the entire size of the cosmos. Also, the light spots we can see from the bright ones left their source 4.6 billion years ago and the more blurred and distorted one 13 billion years ago. In both cases before the Earth was even formed. As others have said, a mindfuck trying to get your head around it. How insignificant are we as individuals or even as a planet? Always makes me wonder how Creationists view all this? I suppose if they are daft enough to swallow the imaginative musings of a 9 year old girl in Portugal then it would be a simple step to believe that their particular imaginary saviour created everything.

SatanGreavsie Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Comparison - Hubble on the right. So the faint bendy splodge it recorded can be seen in massive detail, it's image lensed from colossally further away by the dark matter in between, just as Einstein suggested it would.

Absolutely astonishing. Not just the image, but the fact they have been able to pinpoint the direction of the telescope to take an image of the exact same piece of space. If that makes sense.

ErnestTurnip Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 There's loads of room for "God" in the scientific interpretation of things but they just have to do things a lot quicker than 7 days and after their initial input they have fuck all to do with it afterwards. Excludes almost every religious interpretation man has ever come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted July 15, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted July 15, 2022 Space Station (ISS) passing overhead this evening (Friday) at 23:54. Visible for 6 mins and 37 seconds at an elevation of 59 degrees travelling WSW to E. It's very bright (Mag -4.5) so should be really easy to spot, if the sky stays clear.
