I have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of how big it all is, and all that's out there. Amazing!  |

And it's only part of the universe... not even all of it. Sure is pretty though.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Very cool, Virgil Showlion. Thanks for posting it. I read something about a supermassive black hole at the center of a dwarf galaxy the other day. That was an interesting read, too, but I don't for the life of me recall where I saw it. |

This appears to be an astronomy thread, so here is the the 2014 Astronomy Photographer of the Year photograph. The picture was taken at Glacier Lagoon, Iceland. The photo also won in the earth and space categories.  The rest of the best can be found here: Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2014 |

Wow. Thanks, Virgil.
Laniakea would make a cool tee shirt.
Then, inquiring minds question. How do they know this? Super telescopes?
