Hubble Reboot
 
31 years and still ticking. NASA having trouble rebooting the computer, hope they figure it out. Most of the engineers and programmers probably retired.

Looking back to the edge of the universe, approximately 13 billion years, 400 and 800 million years after the big bang. This is a hunk of the sky is approximately one tenth of the angular diameter of a full moon viewed from Earth. This tiny part of the sky has an estimated 10,000 galaxies. It is a an area that looks like there is nothing at all to the naked eye.

It is just so hard to wrap my head around the reality of this image. It is as though my brain hasn't evolved enough to fully accept how much organized matter is out there.

I'm content to accept the Big Bang as an hypothetical, but that falls apart when I try to coalesce all that matter into a singularity.

Intriguing stuff.
