CLICK! (~110 k)

Here is one of Hubble’s latest pictures and it is simply jaw dropping.  The image shows part of a large galaxy census called the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey or GOODS.  You REALLY need to click the image to get the larger version to begin to appreciate it; I recommend very highly you go to this link which will take you to Hubblesite’s Zoomable image, it is fabulous.

The image shows thousands of galaxies and 12 billion years of cosmic history.  Yeah like we’re really alone.

To see the Hubble press release and more images, including the zoomable one go here to see the Hubblesite offerings.
