Wait, tell me you are joking. You opened this thread so you should know just how expansive the universe is (and some physicists are hinting at the possibility if a multiverse). So will you seriously say a Supreme entity built all if that just because of humans? Please

As an Astrophysicist, I believe God exists and it's safe to say he created the unexplored universe though speculations arises as to "WHY". Why the many planets, stars, galaxies and all? Are they at all in some way relevant for human survival? Or is science trying so hard to make us re-evaluate our existence by denying God's existence in turn?
Guess we'll never know.

Here’s one of the galaxies pictured, UDF 423.
This galaxy is 10 BILLION light years away. When
you look at this picture, you are looking billions
of years into the past.
(Some of the other galaxies are thought to have formed only
a few hundred million years AFTER the Big Bang).

I'm very sure we can't travel at the speed of light, yet it will take light some 10 billion years to get to this galaxy. So I ask, how was this picture taken?

The Solar system would have been enough to sustain earth. Why all that?


Food for thought.

You're absolutely right, any images of the Milky Way that
show an outside view or the spiral shape are computer
generated by an artist, based on the measured positions of
all the stars in our Galaxy. Our farthest spacecraft has barely
left the influence of he sun, much less traveled outside the
galactic plane.
However, images that show the Milky Way from edge-on
such as these are likely real because that's how we see our
galaxy from Earth. It's also what you'll see if you go outside
in a place with very little light pollution (though probably not
that defined or colored since our eyes aren't as good as our
cameras). Think of it this way; you can take a picture of a barrel from inside it, cant you?
And by analyzing that picture you can even extrapolate how
the barrel looks from outside.

Here are my analysis (though they just maybe slightly incorrect)
As u may/may not already know, the Earth as do the 9 planets are all held in place by the Sun's gravitational field. Now do u think the Earth would have been able to survive this long without the other planets aiding in some way? Take for instance the planet Jupiter. With its enormous size and gravitational pull attracts meteors, comets, asteroids and all to itself and even at times deflect them into deep space, reducing the number of impact Earth has to take. Meh I could go on, just feeling too lazy to type

I guess the masses will never know. You can't tell me some people on earth don't have concrete evidence

Thank you. That's what I've saying

TOO NICE

Men this scary

Could the OP please give me a very comprehensive explanation of the Milky Way Galaxy. I've Googled it but still don't understand it.
