    Take A Grain Of Sand...

    Hari Om

    Namaste,

    For those that look up...

    Take a grain of sand¹. Hold it at arms length from your eyes. This is the same size 'window' that Hubble aimed at; The most barren, remote, unexciting part of the sky.

    The Hubble Space Telescope then took long exposures of that exact coordinate for a ten day period ( Keeping the aperature open to gather as much light as possible).

    With the grain of sand diameter 300 galaxies were visible. With a window of dime's diameter at 75 feet away (.0162 inches or 0.16 cm) 1,500 galaxies were detected. Here is what the 'scope' viewed:




    I look on this with awe on how grand & creative this Brahman chooses to be.

    1. One scientist used the grain of sand as a compare; another used a dime's diameter at 75 feet as the size of the viewing angle or .0162 inches , 0.16 cm.
