Us humans, pointed our greatest telescope at the darkest part (or what we thought) of the night sky to reveal the most astounding discovery we have ever made (or so I believe). Every pinpoint of light (with exception to a few stars in our own galaxy) is a galaxy containing between 100 million to 10 billion stars in each one. The Hubble Extreme Deep Field was Released on September 25, 2012 and it took 10 years to compile the images and shows galaxies from 13.2 billion years ago. The exposure time took approximately 23 days. Blow your mind...Imagine the infinite possibility...

The HUDF used to be the deepest image of the universe ever taken and it will be used to search for galaxies that existed between 400 and 800 million years after the big bang.
In order to understand this thread fully you must know some basic astronomy and physics such as the speed of light and the proposed expansion rate of the universe...
Every galaxy you see here probably no longer exists as we see them here, and have probably been swallowed by black holes or combined into even larger galaxies. Every star within every Galaxy pictured had the possibility to harbor a planet with liquid water on its surface in the habitable zone of its system. Infinite other realities were created and then destroyed over the billions of years.
To think it all is the evolution of hydrogen bound by some mathematics and laws really makes you wonder to the depth of human cognition.
Repost or whatever, it should be just as epic as the last time you saw it if you truly comprehend the significance.
