Default Something to Ponder..

The two links provided below reference to 1. An Atlas of the Universe from 12.5 light years from our Sun to 14 billion light years from our Sun, or the entire visible Universe as we know it; and 2. Some pictures by the Hubble of Ultra Deep Field Imaging revealing galaxy's galore. Our own Galaxy btw is supposedly about 100,000 light years across. Check out the pictures at the bottom as well. Something to ponder. There has been some very interesting programs on Public Broadcasting as of late, one including a segment on remote astro-photography using an internet connection to telescopes in New Mexico. If you want to do something really different with your photography, here it is.

Creator?

An example of the many avenues this one could follow on the way to the Soap Box...how's about we leave our agendas at the door and just be amazed?
