Well, it had the effect of getting me to read the thread. I thought "what on earth is that about?, so, clicked on it", well done

 

[Arrowfoot]

Impressed by it as well as some of the information posted by some of the members.

I thought there was Gravity, or at least Gravitational effect, even in Space, if not, what is the force which keeps the Earth spinning around the sun, and, the moon, spinning around the Earth? Do I need to read my "The Universe for Dummies" book again, more carefully this time?

You are correct, that's why the most important officer on a spaceship is the boatswain.

Don't know about that Uhura (Comms and translation) always kept my interest in Space Travel alive

The way I look at it the solar system is just a molecule and the planets are atoms spinning around it. We are probably just part of a chair leg or something in a larger system.

Ive thought this for a while.

My other half says everything is fractal and that just feels right.

One of the stars pictured is now 27 billion light years away

Can that be right if the universe is only (!) 13.8 billion years old?

 

[Dogtrousers]

Indeed. But on a serious note, to see the effect of gravitational lensing like that, demonstrated so clearly, is a beautiful thing.

I hate you. You completely had me and I was being so nice and patient while gritting my teeth.

you've always been my favourite

Its going the opposite direction.

You are seeing light from the star just after the big bang which was 13.8 billion years ago but to travel to it would take 27 billion years (assuming you could stop expansion of the universe whilst travelling)
