After lurking for a while I thought I'd contribute this link. Not sure now whether it makes me feel part of the cosmos or just a tiny spec of nothingness.

Thanks for that. That was really beautiful. I wonder what it'd be like to fly through some of those gas clouds if they looked like that up close. I like how it gets closer and closer to home ... I found myself thinking "oh, that's only 5000 light years away" and thinking it was pretty close.

I know what you mean, a few thousand light years in that show seems like the local neighborhood, and yet to go there suspended even at light speed would mean leaving everything you knew behind forever.

An interesting alternative in the sci-fi book "The Light of Other Days" by Arthur C Clarke & Stephen Baxter, has people remotely exploring the galaxy via camera-like wormholes which they can move around and view space real-time.

who knows the start and end of this deep universe, only people are making their logic that such and such things are there, may be or possibly, and making assumptions and so on, but really this is a big question that how "deep-space" it is, because some will say this is infinite, some will say i don't know, some will say he will tell later after study, but study of what? this is really somewhat insignificant.

thank you olber
