The Internet is just like the Universe.
HUBBLE


This image was assembled from images taken in January thru February 2006. It is an image of a galactic cluster in the constellation Centaurus, inspiringly known as Abell S0740.

The big blob in the middle is a elliptical galaxy called ESO 325-G004

this looks like dreams i've had.

wiki says hubble is
a space telescope that was carried into orbit by the Space Shuttle Discovery in April 1990. It is named after the American astronomer Edwin Hubble. Although not the first space telescope, the Hubble is one of the largest and most versatile, and is well-known as both a vital research tool and a public relations boon for astronomy. The HST is a collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency, and is one of NASA's Great Observatories, along with the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.

where in the universe are we?
what are we doing here?
can books give us answers? do we already know the answers?
are there answers to our questions, or
are we floating adrift?
