This is amazing; makes you realize how small we are on this sorry planet with all of our petty problems.
Hubble Pointing at Nothing This is fascinating. Apparently our planet, even our
galaxy, is like a tiny speck of sand on an immense ocean beach. In
1996 astronomers pointed the Hubble Space Telescope at what appeared
to be absolutely nothing and left it there for 10 days, and then in
2004, they did it again for 11 days. This time they pointed the Hubble toward another seemingly
black, empty "nothing" area. A narrator describes what Hubble
revealed in those areas of nothingness. They made the images Hubble
recorded into a 3-D presentation. Remember, the speed of light is
186,000 miles a second. When light travels at that speed for an
entire year, that is equal to one light year. The meaning of what
Hubble found in some ways is beyond comprehension. Turn your sound on.
