Happy Friday everyone!
For this Friday Link, I delve into science, astronomy to be precise.
I have two videos which might freak you out. Seriously, these videos involve such massive expanses of time and massive expanses of space, you might get a little uneasy. Viewer be warned!
First up is time, and to say time is a long trip is an understatement. What happens when the stars all burn out? Well, according to Crash Course Astronomy, technically, that point would only be a beginning. This is dealing with concepts beyond me, and a timeline beyond comprehension. Enjoy!
The next video is one of the coolest things the Hubble Space Telescope has done. They pointed it into what they thought was an empty part of space and left it there, absorbing any light coming out of the 'empty space.' What they discovered was an insane amount of new galaxies, but the real neat element of these photos is how the viewer looking at the resulting photos is quite literally looking backwards in time. The folks at Vox explain it pretty well in the video.
Isn't learning fun! I hope you don't feel too small. Your individual universe is pretty big. Have a great weekend everyone!
