Kick the resolution up to 720p over on the right and go full screen. Really cool. Don't get seasick!

Absolutely cool. It was like a billion grains of sand falling thru an hourglass...except every one of those grains of sand are a globe of fusion energy most likely hundred of times more powerful than our sun...

Except many of the points of light are galaxies containing hundreds of billions of stars. Until Edwin Hubble figured that on the top of Mount Palomar less than a hundred years ago we thought our own Milky Way galaxy was all there was to the universe.

Very cool! :clap:

(I didn't look at this when it was first posted - from the thread title, I thought it was going to be a food picture, some huge platter of something at Chili's :roll🙂
