Since we seem to be on a space kick, both real and fictional, here's a newly released photo from NASA taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. Astounding. This photo is a Portrait of Stephan's Quintet, also known as the Hickson Compact Group 92. Please check out this link to see more photos.

Still blows my mind to see a picture of galaxies and realize that in all likelihood hundreds of billions of sentient beings, each with their own histories, have been born and since have died in the time it took the that light to reach us.
Beach,it used to almost scare me to think of that. the vastness of the universe,the time. just that thought you indicated of civilizations rising and falling,lives lived and died that happened as that light flowed and that we'll never know about.
I think I see Jesus in that photo. Or Matthew McConnaughey. Either one.
