Wanna Feel Small - Check Out This Video of Part of the Andromeda Galaxy
CheckM8 Offer Upgrade User ID: 55995698 United States 01/27/2015 12:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Wanna Feel Small - Check Out This Video of Part of the Andromeda Galaxy I would highly recommend that you make it full screen. The photo used to make this video can be found here (I do not take credit for making the video) [link to www.spacetelescope.org] . As the image zooms in, each dot of light represents a star that most likely contains one or more planets orbiting it. And to think, this is just a portion of Andromeda, and who knows how many millions (or more) of galaxies there are in the universe "He who knows most, knows best how little he knows." Thomas Jefferson "My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind." Albert Einstein

There is also a pretty cool video that describes the researchers methods for determining how it is constructed. [link to www.nature.com] Also see here for an article on the study in Vox.
