Fantastic. Just shows how insignificant our little blue dot is in the vastness of the universe, let alone our own galaxy.

That little dot does not seem to be the center of the universe.

The Catholic church used to burn people at the stake for saying Earth was not the center of everything.

I am pretty sure we are just a speck in a little tiny solar system, in a average little galaxy among many billions of other galaxies.

One of our deep probe rockets I guess. Take a while it go 900 million miles ...I can't recall when any of them were launched or their names

Edit: I see the name 'Cassini' in the Saturn pic....must be the mission/rocket name.. ?

The photo from Saturn is stunning. The rings always look like a time lapse photo to me. What is the wide white/light blue streak going across the image about 1/3 up from the bottom?

Drdogface 07-23-2013 07:08 AM
Sun ?

hmm....that just got me thinking.

how to determine if point X is the "center" of space Y, without knowing the shape or size or being able to measure the space Y

it's reasonable to state that we're at the center of the observable universe because WE're the ones doing the observing!

Same guy that took the pic of Neil Armstrong and Edmund Hillary.
