Title: Hubble gets an eyefull Post by: ConfusedUs on 2004-03-09, 18:57 http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/hubb...eep_040309.html (http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/hubble_ultradeep_040309.html)
Quote The HUDF field contains an estimated 10,000 galaxies in a patch of sky one-tenth the diameter of the full moon located in the constellation Fornax, a region just below the constellation Orion. Hubble took one million seconds to take the HUDF, which appears in an area of the sky that appears largely empty if observed by ground-based instruments. Here's a HUGE copy of the image taken http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/56533ma..._142_jwfull.jpg (http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/56533main_MM_image_feature_142_jwfull.jpg) This is pretty nifty ;) :thumb: Title: Re: Hubble gets an eyefull Post by: l4mby on 2004-03-09, 19:03 omg, sweeeeet ! *drools*

Title: Re: Hubble gets an eyefull Post by: shambler on 2004-03-09, 23:43 I wonder if those galaxys are alive.
Title: Re: Hubble gets an eyefull Post by: [WaRdeN] on 2004-03-10, 00:24 For those that think life doesn't exist outside of our planet. Should take a look at the numbers. In that small patch of sky they can see 10,000 galaxies * Billions of stars in each galaxy * Each planet that revolves around the star. The odds are against the non believers.

Title: Re: Hubble gets an eyefull Post by: Tabun on 2004-03-10, 07:28 Providing the universe is anywhere near infinite - it's either just us, or a WHOLE LOT of other life out there. The odds in numbers are definately for it, but ofcourse the conditions of the Earth are somewhat .. special. The way our planet was formed, it's steady temperature and the way the atmosphere, sun & moon keeps us alive 'n all.. we are somewhat an exception to the rule, as far as we can tell. And we're really really young on a cosmic scale too. But hey, I'm keeping my fingers crossed ;]
Title: Re: Hubble gets an eyefull Post by: Phoenix on 2004-03-10, 20:42 I'm 100% sure there's life beyond the earth. I can't prove it to anyone else, but I've seen more than enough proof for myself.
Title: Re: Hubble gets an eyefull Post by: shambler on 2004-03-10, 20:49 What I meant was were the galaxys alive. There must be life on planets inside them. But were they alive themselves.
When I see the shots I think they might be. |
