That just a spot that's a grain of sand on a beach...... The total number of galaxies in the universe would blow your mind ...... It just melts my brain to even imagine how many spots just like that one it hasn't photographed
Imagine at this exact moment.. A race from another planet from a distant galaxy is also looking at the stars wondering if there are other life out there
I read somewhere that the reason we are not seeing other signs of life on other planets is because they're too far away. Like withthe light of stars that we see at night. The light we see is the from millions of years ago, it took that long for the light to reach us. Now if some other species saw our planet in their time they are actually seeing the Earth millions of years ago. Now Kepler, a planet we deemed suitable for life, is 1291 lightyears away. We don't know if life already exists there since the planet we are seeing is an old image of itself. I don't know if this is correct lol but it sounds about right. Correct me if I'm wrong tho.
@@cmdrrgh And of all places, New York is still not cooperating with federal law enforcement to help prevent a repeat of 9/11. It's classic ignorant defiance, been going on for eons.
To say, "There're billions and billions of galaxies out there," is one thing. To see an image showing it is profound. Extraordinarily powerful photograph.
I can never understand how people think that Earth is the only planet that can sustain life. Every time i watch a video about space, I'm in awe at the amount of galaxies holding infinite planets there actually are.
This is how I see it. Space also spans across time. If the beginning of our galaxy is the length of a shoe, the existence of Earth until its demise is about a width of a hair. So even if a galaxy has a planet that can sustain life, it would need to during our planet's lifetime. I remembered this analogy a long time ago so not exactly sure if the shoe was used but point is, our time of existence needs to match theirs and space is very old.
While I agree that its arrogant for humans to think we're special, its however true that no sign of life has ever been found outside of Earth. This still confounds researchers to this day. It should then be noted that until life has been discovered, we cant be arrogant in a different way and assume there is life other than us. Avoiding assumptions is the best way to avoid being an annoyingly arrogant person.
Just imagine this. We look at a planet that has advanced life but we do not know because it is a million light years away and the life only formed 10000 years ago.
So true. I definately believe that there are other planets the sustain life and possible we've looked at one at one point but we could never see anything since light travel is an actual thing. The moment that we may see life on another planet they would probably have advanced a lot. Same counts for us. Maybe some other planet has technology the same as ours or even mkre powerful with the ability to see present time. We just can't communicate.
I mean, it'd be pretty much a miracle for the life form to go from just appearing to a properly intelligent sentient species (A type 1 civilization) in 10,000 years. But that's of course assuming that all life forms must evolve at the rate we did.
My grandfather a aerospace engineer worked on The Hubble Space Telescope. He had (and now I have after he passed) a piece of the insulation from the telescope secured in a glass award. It says on the front with the gold side, “For Dedication and Service to the Hubble Space Telescope!” Above The Silver side the top Back says, “This Piece Of Multilayered Insulation Flew on the Hubble Space Telescope April 25,1990-December 24,1999.” It’s one of my most prized possessions. I can’t wait to tell my kids about their great grandfather. Humans, scientists, engineers and especially, rocket scientists are incredible.
IF it's ever launched.... seriously though: if it does work as planned, and does eventually get launched, who KNOWS what we'll see?? We are truly living in the Golden Age of astronomy.

I think about the same thing all the time. How beautiful it must be to see other planets, galaxies, lifeforms, civilizations, etc. If only we were immortal...
Nobody but bad SF on TV is talking about other galaxies. There's a big difference between interplanetary distance and intergalactic differences. They're not interchangeable.
Nothing has moved me more than that image. As a kid, I was always looking up at the night sky, pondering its awesomeness. In 1996, when I first saw the deep field, I was overwhelmed by the time that we could view. That those little light particles landed on Hubble to reveal so much of what our universe is, was massive. To this day, I contemplate that image on a regular basis.
For astronomer it is important for humanity, but for some people it is just an image because for them it is plain and boring but they didn't know the wonder of universe.
These Hubble Deep Field and Ultra Deep Field images may logically be argued to be the most important images ever taken. They indicate, amongst many other things, that the number of galaxies in the visible universe is approximately 200 billion. This estimate has recently been revised upward to far more galaxies, with each galaxy typically having a hundred billion or hundreds of billions of stars. The numbers are mind-boggling and have major implications in many fields.
Indeed. They are truly some of the iconic images of our lifetimes. They aimed Hubble, just out of curiosity, at a pretty dull part of the sky, and the results just take your breath away. Even those faint, tiny dots way off in the distance are galaxies.
If they're young galaxies, it's logical to assume they wouldn't have as many fully formed stars as a mature galaxy, hence the low figure. But yeah, orders of magnitude.
Anyone interested in this story, the Hubble telescope, or space travel in general would do well to look up a copy of IMAX Hubble, an imax film shot mostly by the astronauts on the first mission to fix the telescope after it went up.

THRILLHO Seen it but I'll gladly see it again & again !! As tools goes Hubble Telescope is the best Mankind could make in the 1980's . Next up is the James Webb Telescope ! Unlike Hubble Webb's Telescope will be on the other side of the 🌒 Moon , so no fix it missions to fix the Webb if it's not 100% so good luck & Thank You Hubble for all the Science & Countless Amazing Images !
If she is creeped out, can you blame her? I swear the Asian flush video was terrible for that sh*t. I mean really guys...stop and think before you type.
I simply cannot wrap my mind around how immense the time/space continuum is. Stories like this one help me move toward some comprehension of that immensity. I also very much appreciate how astronomers learned to share data in a timely manner. If only archeology would adopt the same perspective.
Hubble begun production in 1978 and launched in 1990. $2,000,000,000 in 1978 is roughly $7,388,128,834.36 now (2016) That's $615,677,402.86 every year. That's $51,306,450.23 every month. That's $1,686,787.40 every day. It's easy to see why people were pissed off when you see the numbers, more so you have to consider this telescope was unlike anything that anybody had ever seen before. The tax-payer had no idea of its benefits and as far as they were concerned NASA was just throwing $7,388,128,834.36 into space for no beneficial reason. It's easier for us to understand and accept Hubble's worth/cost/value as we have grown up with its existence and amazing results. :)
Hubble Deep Field is such a mind-blowing image. Everytime I see it, I see something new and amazing. I have saved it my wallpaper and I often end up just staring at my screen.
I don't understand how some people don't want to be bothered with learning any of the fields of science. I wish I could go back to when I was younger so I could've paid more attention during science class. I kick myself in the ass all the time thinking about what could've been had I just paid attention.
learn now! school only scratches the subject...its a taster of subjects, and really only teaches us to read,write and count...do you think carl sagan and richard dawkins and the likes left secondary school and became top of thier field straight of the bat?....its a massive and never ending subject and it needs truly interested, new people to become involved. it's never too late my man.!!! good luck!
I promise I don't work for them, but there are free astronomy courses you can take on Coursera that are actual online courses from major universities. It breaks my heart when people say that they have passed this dead stop where they missed out on school or something like that. If you are alive right now you can learn and you are already on the best tool in the world to do so.
Every time id see that photo on the internet I'd remember the fact that it takes almost 4gb to load. That even if you zoom at the darkest part of that photo, you'll still see galaxies, and then more galaxies. Great photo
but intergalactic travel is seeming impossible even if we could travel the speed of light and science says we can't go past the speed of light but I say we just don't know if we can
Christopher Prats Im talking farther than travelling to mars.. im talking about colonising mars, visiting habitable planets, discovering new species in space etc..
You may be alive to witness the colonisation of Mars. Theres one man that lives for that mission, and making the improbable happen seems to be his style.
***** I feel like we'll go to another galaxy one day, not soon, and not in one trip. If we do, we'll be doing it one or two planets/ asteroids at a time
Stop ridiculing me and my beliefs. Just because you've been brainwashed by society into a perfect little sheeple doesn't mean other people like to think for themselves. I don't know how your still able to believe that our planet is "round" even with the tremendous amount of proof proving that it's flat. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!!!!!!
+p.d d.p if the BS flat earther spew was true don't you think NASA would Be deleting that stuff and erasing the Bedford levels experiment from history?
If you think about it, all we are is atoms. And these faraway galaxies are basically atoms too. And so is everything in the universe. We may all feel separated, but we are all connected. We are one.
There was a really wonderful quote from Stanley Kubrick about the vastness and indifference of the universe that I found very comforting: "The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death---however mutable man may be able to make them---our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light."
When we realize how unimportant humanity is, we can then relish in the thought that we as individuals are completely free to decide what to make of this mistake called existence. That's actually really uplifting if you ask me. You like dressing as a furry? So what? You're not gonna offend God. He's probably busy messing with a speck of a galaxy in one of those pictures seen in this video, or something. Who cares what uptight Mc-Douche bag thinks of you?
When I stare across the sky and see the milky way or any other beautiful celestial object, there is this feeling that stirs in me. I can never seem to adequately describe it. Awe, peaceful, being in the moment, part of something bigger.
Have to thank everyone that was involved in the Hubble Space Telescope because those photographs helped spark scientific curiosity in hundreds of millions of people
This image was used in the game Undertale, at what remains one of my favourite moments in the game. In the game, it seemed to say that even the darkest, smallest and most bland-looking places, things and people can contain amazing beauty if you just bother to look closely. It's been my desktop background for years now.
@ There's a distinct difference between mapping stars and having modern calculated understanding of our perceived universe as we do currently. No need to act childish.
@@josephdestaubin7426 Greetings Joe, IDK, maybe the ' error ' WAS deliberate ? Why ? Well Satanic Vatican have their own LAND-BASED TELESCOPE ( think it might be called Lucifer ). And they do not want us Earthlings to know too early, that Wormwood, Niburu, is on its way here ?
can't slow it down, the orbit is established to keep it in place around the Earth, it was moving that fast to keep it relatively close to the Earth . the closer the orbit is to the Earth the faster it has to move to balance out the Earth's gravity pulling it in. it is a precise balance, if it's moving too slow then gravity will pull it crashing back down to Earth, if too fast then it escapes the Earth's gravity and fly off. In comparison, geosynchronous satellites (those that stays above a fixed point on the Earth) has to orbit much further out as one orbit must match Earth's one day.
DID YOU KNOW that the Very Large Array, based in US state of New Mexico, is made up of 27 antennas that work together to act as one giant dish? With an effective collecting area over 13,000 square metres, the VLA has been used to to make key observations of black holes and how planets are formed.
@@Unknown-tk4ul Hope there is no delay this time. And the James Webb Telescope mainly focuses on a lower frequency range, from long-wavelength visible light through mid-infrared, which is different from Hubble.
One can only stare at these amazing images with complete awe. As Douglas Adams once said: The Universe is big, very very BIG. So big in fact that the mind has quite a bit of difficulty in envisaging it and fully comprehending its incredible vastness. For all intents and purposes, it is indeed endless.
Always cool how vox shows different things that come out of stuff that we wouldn't really realise or notice but is actually pretty important and monumental. thx Vox :D
Kind of. It's set to be "replaced" by the James Webb Space Telescope in 2018. But Hubble's service contract does not end until 2021 and I'm sure it will remain functional for a few years after that.
Already? Hubble has been out there for 26 years and done amazing work. It's time for an upgrade. The Webb promises to possibly see back to the very first bright objects to be formed, some 100 million years after the big bang. jwst.nasa.gov/firstlight.html
Honestly Hubble is old and imagine how much better pictures of galaxies will be with updated technology. I honestly cannot wait until the James Webb is launched, however what the Hubble telescope has done is amazing
This is one of my all-time favorite images. I would love to have it in a high quality art canvas. Second would be the historical map "universal description di tutti la terra conosciuta", which shows amazing description of how early Europe viewed the world. Vox - please do a video on historical maps and early cartography.
I actually made it my personal mission to create a high quality art canvas of this image and it's currently hanging as the centerpiece in my living room. Only costed around $250-$300 from a local print shop after sending them a digital file, is HUGE and I have NO regrets! Make it happen my friend!
In my opinion the Hubble Deep Field photo is the greatest picture ever taken by humans and as someone who as devoted their entire professional career to astronomy, cosmology, and physics, I believe this photo also proves that we are not alone in the universe. When you stare into this photo knowing that every object you see is an entire galaxy, minus the two or three stars that are located in our own, and that this is only a tiny part of the sky equivalent to the tip of a pin held at a arms length away, you begin to realize the implications of what exactly you're looking at here. With over two trillion galaxies in the observable universe with trillions upon trillions of stars all of which have their own solar systems of planets, it is mathematically impossible for us to be the only intelligent beings in the known universe. To say otherwise would be like taking a small cup of water from the pacific and saying that there is no fish in the ocean.
A true pioneer, Hubble is the only telescope designed to be maintained by astronauts in space-and it’s spent the past three decades tirelessly roaming the universe, beaming down moment after moment of extraterrestrial grandeur.
I really dont know how people dont believe in other life forms, in just that picture there are probably billions of unique planets that can contain life. People that dont believe in alien life probably just dont get how enormous the universe is.
I remember telling my Nerdy friends back in 1995 When I was stationed in Pensacola Florida "This will go down as the most Important Photo Mankind has ever taken" That turned out to be True.
My uncle was on the last mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope back in 2008. I was too young to understand how monumental this piece of equipment was/is to astronomy. So cool!
Would it be possible with enough time and at the same magnification level as this photo to map the entire area of space 360 degrees around the telescope on the X, Y and Z axis? This would give us a complete image of where we sit in space at that point in time
great question - according to this site, "The whole sky contains 12.7 million times more area than the Ultra Deep Field. To observe the entire sky would take almost 1 million years of uninterrupted observing." For reference, the Ultra Deep Field is about twice as big as the original 1995 deep field area. so. hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2004/07/
4:30 I really like that they released it asap instead of being selfish and hoarding it for themselves with that childish selfish "no its mine, I found it first" mentality and wanting all the discovery potential for themselves as well. That is no way to learn... it minimizes, or should I say, it keeps from maximizing potential.
2076 - The James Webb Space Telescope image that changed history: “We’re sorry. The image you’re looking for does not exist. We encourage you to watch another, ‘It will be so amazing when the JWST is finally in action,’ RUclips video.”
I love the shots like at 4:51 showing a moving scene through galactic areas. I get so astonished of the fact there are literally TRILLIONS of galaxies. Absolutely NO DOUBT there are other intelligent civilizations out there.
3:41 I always thought it would be cool if there was a giant mirror out in space. One light day away from Earth. So you could look at the mirror through a telescope and see yesterday.
It always depresses me when i think about how in my life time we MIGHT have a small colony on the moon, never mind another planet in our own solar system. I believe there is life in other galaxies but the distances are so vast, i dont think even in a few million years humans will make contact with alien life. They or us will have to have a way of travelling 1000's of times faster then light or someway of bending space. I mean, even if we could travel 10,000 times faster then light, it would still take 250 years to travel to our nearest neighbour Andromeda.
Every time I see this or something similar in terms of how insignificant we truly are, it is so sobering. Put aside your differences, love one another and just enjoy life. Carl Sagan's pale blue dot is another mind blowingly sobering piece too definitely check it out.

I simply cannot wrap my mind around how immense the time/space continuum is. Stories like this one help me move toward some comprehension of that immensity. I also very much appreciate how astronomers learned to share data in a timely manner. If only archeology would adopt the same perspective.

Hubble begun production in 1978 and launched in 1990.
$2,000,000,000 in 1978 is roughly $7,388,128,834.36 now (2016)
That's $615,677,402.86 every year.
That's $51,306,450.23 every month.
That's $1,686,787.40 every day.
It's easy to see why people were pissed off when you see the numbers, more so you have to consider this telescope was unlike anything that anybody had ever seen before. The tax-payer had no idea of its benefits and as far as they were concerned NASA was just throwing $7,388,128,834.36 into space for no beneficial reason.
It's easier for us to understand and accept Hubble's worth/cost/value as we have grown up with its existence and amazing results.
:)
Hubble Deep Field is such a mind-blowing image. Everytime I see it, I see something new and amazing. I have saved it my wallpaper and I often end up just staring at my screen.

I don't understand how some people don't want to be bothered with learning any of the fields of science. I wish I could go back to when I was younger so I could've paid more attention during science class. I kick myself in the ass all the time thinking about what could've been had I just paid attention.
learn now! school only scratches the subject...its a taster of subjects, and really only teaches us to read,write and count...do you think carl sagan and richard dawkins and the likes left secondary school and became top of thier field straight of the bat?....its a massive and never ending subject and it needs truly interested, new people to become involved. it's never too late my man.!!! good luck!
Haha. Good thing we have internet nowadays and these kinds of channels to learn things that are even out of our field.
jesus me too.....
I promise I don't work for them, but there are free astronomy courses you can take on Coursera that are actual online courses from major universities. It breaks my heart when people say that they have passed this dead stop where they missed out on school or something like that. If you are alive right now you can learn and you are already on the best tool in the world to do so.
Honestly we didnt have interesting enough teachers back in the day...
Every time id see that photo on the internet I'd remember the fact that it takes almost 4gb to load. That even if you zoom at the darkest part of that photo, you'll still see galaxies, and then more galaxies. Great photo
What makes me sad is that I won't be alive to experience/see actual space travel (visiting other planets and galaxies etc..)
You never know! We're advancing quickly in space travel and don't we already have plans to send someone to Mars by 2025?
but intergalactic travel is seeming impossible even if we could travel the speed of light and science says we can't go past the speed of light but I say we just don't know if we can
Christopher Prats Im talking farther than travelling to mars.. im talking about colonising mars, visiting habitable planets, discovering new species in space etc..
You may be alive to witness the colonisation of Mars. Theres one man that lives for that mission, and making the improbable happen seems to be his style.

I feel like we'll go to another galaxy one day, not soon, and not in one trip. If we do, we'll be doing it one or two planets/ asteroids at a time
I remember when it was published. Everyone saw it at the exact same time for the first time. It was jaw dropping. Still is.
Where's the flat planet people
Stop ridiculing me and my beliefs. Just because you've been brainwashed by society into a perfect little sheeple doesn't mean other people like to think for themselves. I don't know how your still able to believe that our planet is "round" even with the tremendous amount of proof proving that it's flat.
WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!!!!!!

WRONG. The elephants are on the back of two platapuses that are standing on the giant turtle. YOU FORGOT THE PLATAPUSES DUDE.
I like how "maybe it was just some weird spot of space" was a valid theory.
@Wayne Collins dust on the lens wouldn’t glow brightly like that, it would be the opposite actually.
Looking at photos like this one makes me feel like humanity is so useless
Small? Yes. Useless? I feel the opposite.
It makes me AMAZED we are here. And grateful :)
If you think about it, all we are is atoms. And these faraway galaxies are basically atoms too. And so is everything in the universe.
We may all feel separated, but we are all connected. We are one.
There was a really wonderful quote from Stanley Kubrick about the vastness and indifference of the universe that I found very comforting:
"The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death---however mutable man may be able to make them---our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light."
More like insignificant, just like a cow fart.
Every time i see the Deep Field picture it makes me realize how absolutely insanely massive the universe is.
With Hubble telescope I can probably find my father..........
Luke?

just wait for "James Webb Telescope". It will disrupt the astronomy again.
That if they aren't hoarding its discovery...
Disrupt or prove... that we are among "billions and billions"
I may not live that long. The technology the builders started with is already 20 years old.
i can't wait. they are polishing the mirros for 3 more years. i PRAY nothing happens to it.
I mean this in the most non-suicidal way: Life is so small and so pointless and our lives aren't even a spec of dust. Still, so beautiful though.
When we realize how unimportant humanity is, we can then relish in the thought that we as individuals are completely free to decide what to make of this mistake called existence. That's actually really uplifting if you ask me.
You like dressing as a furry? So what? You're not gonna offend God. He's probably busy messing with a speck of a galaxy in one of those pictures seen in this video, or something. Who cares what uptight Mc-Douche bag thinks of you?
When I stare across the sky and see the milky way or any other beautiful celestial object, there is this feeling that stirs in me. I can never seem to adequately describe it. Awe, peaceful, being in the moment, part of something bigger.
Our lives are a speck of dust in an infinite cosmos, with infinite possibilities, that's inspiring
If there was one more or less anti matter, the Big Bang wouldn’t have happened
the earth is flat these photos are just composite cgi cartoons
This is why Vox is great. They post a lot, but the editing is on point and they don't cut corners when it comes to explaining things
Have to thank everyone that was involved in the Hubble Space Telescope because those photographs helped spark scientific curiosity in hundreds of millions of people
This image was used in the game Undertale, at what remains one of my favourite moments in the game. In the game, it seemed to say that even the darkest, smallest and most bland-looking places, things and people can contain amazing beauty if you just bother to look closely.
It's been my desktop background for years now.

To the artist who prepares the visuals to all of Vox's videos, I appreciate you You are amazing
it only takes hubble an hour to get around the whole planet?
it's moving 17,000 mph (27,300 kph)!
Was it going slower when the module was installed?
it wasn't slowed down the astronauts and shuttle were just orbiting at the same speed.
Yup there is no resistance in space, so objects move incredibly fast around large objects that produce a large gravitational acceleration.
can't slow it down, the orbit is established to keep it in place around the Earth, it was moving that fast to keep it relatively close to the Earth . the closer the orbit is to the Earth the faster it has to move to balance out the Earth's gravity pulling it in. it is a precise balance, if it's moving too slow then gravity will pull it crashing back down to Earth, if too fast then it escapes the Earth's gravity and fly off.
In comparison, geosynchronous satellites (those that stays above a fixed point on the Earth) has to orbit much further out as one orbit must match Earth's one day.
I love this channel so darn much. Is there anyway you could make two videos a day?

DID YOU KNOW that the Very Large Array, based in US state of New Mexico, is made up of 27 antennas that work together to act as one giant dish? With an effective collecting area over 13,000 square metres, the VLA has been used to to make key observations of black holes and how planets are formed.

@@hotchi1566 Yeah, but NASA has finally announced that James Webb Telescope will launch on November 2021
@@Unknown-tk4ul Hope there is no delay this time. And the James Webb Telescope mainly focuses on a lower frequency range, from long-wavelength visible light through mid-infrared, which is different from Hubble.

One can only stare at these amazing images with complete awe. As Douglas Adams once said: The Universe is big, very very BIG. So big in fact that the mind has quite a bit of difficulty in envisaging it and fully comprehending its incredible vastness. For all intents and purposes, it is indeed endless.

Brainwashing success.
Always cool how vox shows different things that come out of stuff that we wouldn't really realise or notice but is actually pretty important and monumental. thx Vox :D
This is the image that changed my life too. My brain was never the same after seeing it. I consider it the most mind-bending thing I ever saw.
I had that photo as the background on my computer for years
A legacy? Is the Hubble Space Telescope retiring, already?
Yeah, The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will be NASA's premier observatory of the next decade, serving thousands of astronomers worldwide.
Kind of. It's set to be "replaced" by the James Webb Space Telescope in 2018.
But Hubble's service contract does not end until 2021 and I'm sure it will remain functional for a few years after that.
Already? Hubble has been out there for 26 years and done amazing work. It's time for an upgrade. The Webb promises to possibly see back to the very first bright objects to be formed, some 100 million years after the big bang.
jwst.nasa.gov/firstlight.html
Honestly Hubble is old and imagine how much better pictures of galaxies will be with updated technology. I honestly cannot wait until the James Webb is launched, however what the Hubble telescope has done is amazing
the JWST website even has live webcams of the build www.jwst.nasa.gov/
This is one of my all-time favorite images. I would love to have it in a high quality art canvas. Second would be the historical map "universal description di tutti la terra conosciuta", which shows amazing description of how early Europe viewed the world.
Vox - please do a video on historical maps and early cartography.
I actually made it my personal mission to create a high quality art canvas of this image and it's currently hanging as the centerpiece in my living room. Only costed around $250-$300 from a local print shop after sending them a digital file, is HUGE and I have NO regrets! Make it happen my friend!
In my opinion the Hubble Deep Field photo is the greatest picture ever taken by humans and as someone who as devoted their entire professional career to astronomy, cosmology, and physics, I believe this photo also proves that we are not alone in the universe. When you stare into this photo knowing that every object you see is an entire galaxy, minus the two or three stars that are located in our own, and that this is only a tiny part of the sky equivalent to the tip of a pin held at a arms length away, you begin to realize the implications of what exactly you're looking at here. With over two trillion galaxies in the observable universe with trillions upon trillions of stars all of which have their own solar systems of planets, it is mathematically impossible for us to be the only intelligent beings in the known universe. To say otherwise would be like taking a small cup of water from the pacific and saying that there is no fish in the ocean.
A true pioneer, Hubble is the only telescope designed to be maintained by astronauts in space-and it’s spent the past three decades tirelessly roaming the universe, beaming down moment after moment of extraterrestrial grandeur.
1:45 great, they just went from 144p to 240p XD
240p is still a lot better than 144p especially for space and *especially* for that time.
Why am i just now discovering this gem of a channel?!?! Better late than never, i guess.
I really dont know how people dont believe in other life forms, in just that picture there are probably billions of unique planets that can contain life. People that dont believe in alien life probably just dont get how enormous the universe is.
Size of a pinhead at arms length. 🤯🤯🤯
We are so insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

Who else was waiting for Joss to appear after the video to explain stuff further.
Who is Joss?
Probably freaked her out she not coming out anymore 😞
What i find interesting is that no matter how far out, we find fully formed galaxies.
"The Earth is FLAT!"
"Pfff, you believe in the Earth?"
Would it be possible with enough time and at the same magnification level as this photo to map the entire area of space 360 degrees around the telescope on the X, Y and Z axis? This would give us a complete image of where we sit in space at that point in time
great question - according to this site, "The whole sky contains 12.7 million times more area than the Ultra Deep Field. To observe the entire sky would take almost 1 million years of uninterrupted observing." For reference, the Ultra Deep Field is about twice as big as the original 1995 deep field area. so. hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2004/07/
Wow, that's a long time. I hope they find a way to speed up the process! Thanks for the answer.
Uhhh uh Uhhh cool

Such *gorgeous* video editing! Bravo, Vox!
4:30 I really like that they released it asap instead of being selfish and hoarding it for themselves with that childish selfish "no its mine, I found it first" mentality and wanting all the discovery potential for themselves as well. That is no way to learn... it minimizes, or should I say, it keeps from maximizing potential.
Hubble brought forth an absolute paradigm shift...great video!!!
2076 - The James Webb Space Telescope image that changed history: “We’re sorry. The image you’re looking for does not exist. We encourage you to watch another, ‘It will be so amazing when the JWST is finally in action,’ RUclips video.”

3:41 I always thought it would be cool if there was a giant mirror out in space. One light day away from Earth. So you could look at the mirror through a telescope and see yesterday.
It always depresses me when i think about how in my life time we MIGHT have a small colony on the moon, never mind another planet in our own solar system. I believe there is life in other galaxies but the distances are so vast, i dont think even in a few million years humans will make contact with alien life. They or us will have to have a way of travelling 1000's of times faster then light or someway of bending space. I mean, even if we could travel 10,000 times faster then light, it would still take 250 years to travel to our nearest neighbour Andromeda.
Your_Doppelganger Why go to another galaxy when we can just explore ours
I can't wait until the James Webb Space Telescope!
Every time I see this or something similar in terms of how insignificant we truly are, it is so sobering. Put aside your differences, love one another and just enjoy life.
Carl Sagan's pale blue dot is another mind blowingly sobering piece too definitely check it out.
