This is very interesting!

CHECK THIS OUT, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT ALREADY .  
 

 

This  is fascinating. I challenge you to wrap  your  mind around this.  Apparently our planet, even our galaxy, is  like a tiny speck of sand on an  immense ocean beach.

 

In  1996 astronomers pointed the Hubble Space Telescope at  what appeared to  be absolutely nothing and left it there for 10 days, and  then  in 2004, they did it again for 11 days. This time they pointed   the Hubble toward another seemingly black, empty "nothing" area. A   narrator describes what Hubble revealed in those areas  of sheer nothingness.  They made the images Hubble recorded into a 3-D  presentation.  Remember, the speed of light is 186,000 miles a  second.  When light  travels at that speed for an entire year, that is  equal to one light  year. The meaning of what Hubble found is beyond my  comprehension. Turn  your sound on.
