Carl Sagan does it better.. with words !

The Hubble took an "Ultra Deep Field" image picture which represents about one thirteen-millionth (.0000013) of the total area of the sky and showed 10,000 galaxies. With approximately 200 billion stars per galaxy, that's 2,000,000,000,000,000 stars in that picture. Each of these stars has planets orbiting around them, approximately 1-6. If each had an average of 3 planets per star, that's 6,000,000,000,000,000 (six quintillion) planets that were shown in .0000013 of the visible sky.

I've always been so intrigued by the vastness of the cosmos. I think it has to deal with my fascination with psychedelics.. or vice versa.

Big Crunch.

So since the universe and everything in it is continually expanding, even if we tried to travel to a different galaxy would we even make it there? Would it continually expand away from the milky way galaxy or is the gravitational force between the two galaxies enough for us to be able to make it?

[Xog]

the interesting part about that is, the universe stopped expanding a while ago, and is actually shrinking.. based on recent studies
