YA!

That image is SO cool.

They chose the most boring section of sky they could find, with nothing at all visible, and did this huge long exposure. They found hundreds of galaxies, in the space of what one book called a "period dot at arms length".

Wow.

If it's like that everywhere, and it probably is, the universe is truly incomprehendably huge. A human has no chance of understanding the distances and scale.
