The Hubble Telescope Seeing Into The Universe
The Hubble Telescope Seeing Into The Universe
As I remember the Hubble telescope who could see into our universe on distances of more than a million light years away, who had ever thought before that stars are suns or solar systems with their planets, that the stars we see are but stars of our own galaxy, the Milky Way. We never thought there were so many galaxies or clusters with billion of stars.
Even in our age, astronomers are lucky to see a supernovea, an exploding star lighting brighter than the other stars for a short period. Perhaps it doesn’t happen as when we see it now but happened some where 10.000 light years earlier.
Imagine, we’re just 2010 A.D. today, not yet 10.000 years, more over not yet a million years.
It seems our earth to be so very small, it feels like our life to be so very short, our knowledge, our beliefs, our richess to be so negligible, so insignificant. Only when we realise this would we be freed from being haughty.
