There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio
The Mind-Bending Truth About Trillions of Galaxies

Does anybody here follow Astronomy? (My husband used to get Astronomy magazine regularly)

5:44 minute video about how the Hubble telescope and more recent telescopes have revealed the evidence of the vastness of the universe and the incredible, untold number of galaxies that may be out there.

Last line of the video "Nature has surprised us beyond our wildest imagination"

The comment section, as always, has an array of takes on this, some in awe, some trying to make calculations, some making theological points, and some people who point out the importance of focusing on our own world.

What do you think?
 
It's so hard to grasp how huge and vast our universe is! But it saddens me to know that we have our limits of what we can see. The universe is expanding so fast that currently it is impossible for us to see the farthest stretches of the universe. So what we see with the Webb telescope is likely the farthest we'll ever see. But we'll be discovering so much in the future about our universe either way.
