Deepest Space

Being the Space Junkie I've mentioned previously, this kind of image and description just boggles the mind. The Hubble Telescope, still on the job "up there", snapped this image in 1995. Supposedly it is the deepest (into space) visible light image ever made. There's LOTS up there, folks.

So, what do you think? Are we Earthlings the only form of intelligent life around? We certainly have room for a lot more!

Whatever your opinion, it's certainly beautiful, isn't it?

Deep Field View 
In 1995, the telescope peered into a tiny spot in the sky for ten days, which surprisingly revealed the existence of at least 10,000 galaxies, some billions of light years away. This is the deepest visible light image ever made.
