Explore the Center of the Milky Way! Pan, Zoom, and gasp.

Beauty is in the Sky of the beholder.

This one be holding a lot of beauty, IMO, of course.

We have photos like this and there are still people that think that life is unique to earth. It's incredible how close minded some people can be.

This is really an amazing photo. Good post.

Jesus Christ! Just look at those stars! Fermi's Paradox or not, there sure is somebody out there!

Thanks for the find! Mind boggling stuff!! Makes one feel small - real small, and insignificant...in the greater scheme of things!

Dude, you just boggled my freakin' mind!

I was wondering how to zoom than BAM!!! Billions of stars just overtook my breath. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing this.

The imagery is absolutely awe inspiring. Truly beautiful.

First, let’s consider that AI (artificial intelligence) is the same thing as saying “automatic intelligence”, since after all, all software is automatic systems, or automata.

“Summoning” AI then is equivalent to evolving intelligence. Sure it will eventually “succeed”, but will it take 5 billion years?

We may get a headstart on summoning (evolving) seed strong AI by crystallizing some of these (apparently) hyperdimensional artifacts:

Ancient Languages
Stan Tenen’s Hebrew Torah Patterns
Hieroglyphs
Planetary Structures
Ancient Architecture (pyramids, etc..)
Crop Circles
Astronomical Data
Solar Patterns
Constellation Geometry
“Sacred” Geometry

and...

Galactic Blackhole Supercomputers

Starred and flagged. I suddenly feel so much smaller.

The amount of stars out there is just amazing. Nice find.

Thanks so much for sharing the site!

There is little in this world that I find more soothing than looking at such granular pictures of the cosmos. Seeing how interspersed with points of light the vast is always brings me comfort. I'm not sure why. It isn't because I assume life is present. It's something else. Something less conscious. It's like when I sit and watch the rain, and feel briefly like nothing at all is wrong in my existence in any way, shape, or form. I can't explain it.

Astounding stuff! Thanks for including this. I don't have any number of adjectives to describe the feeling gained from looking at the galaxy in such breathaking detail.

F**king absolutely brilliant!

Awesome! I don't even think I can comprehend how large to universe is.

And that scary thing. Is that this is just a "small portion" of single Galaxy. our own.
Just the highly populated central region. There are billions and billions of other galaxies too.
And as mentioned in another thread. We are absorbing another galaxy, and distorting two others.
the two others are the Small, and Large Magellanic clouds.

Take a look at those mini galaxies here:

I haven't been around much but:
I wanted to bump this in order to give a few more new members a chance to get up close and personal with our "neighborhood".

I've been sharing it with a few non-members..(you know, 3-d people that you can look in the eye LOL).

I still find myself scrolling around the image, and find things, more things each time.
I still can't get over how the dust clouds look. they look like clouds of dust..rather than just blank spots in the sky.

Wow, that was absolutely breath taking. I love how we have technology that can show us our own galaxy were inside of. It is beyond mind boggling. Thank you very much for this post.
