Starry Starry Sky
Each dot in the picture above indicates the position of a galaxy.
The image covers about 1/20th of the sky, a slice of the universe 6 billion light-years wide (thus we see some of these galaxies 6 billion years into the past), 4.5 billion light-years high, and 500 million light-years thick. -- http://earthsky.org/space/1-2-million-galaxies-in-3d
2016 -- The largest three-dimensional map of our universe so far. It’s a map of 1.2 million galaxies over a quarter of the sky and over a volume of space of 650 cubic billion light-years. -- https://www.sdss3.org/
- You are looking at over 140,000 points of light, every one a galaxy containing billions of stars, trillions of planets .... life, life origins...
