Putting Things in Perspective
« on: July 02, 2009, 07:59:59 AM »





Antares is a red supergiant star in our own galaxy, the Milky Way, and is more than 600 light years away from our solar system.

And now . . . here is an ultra deep field infrared photograph taken by the Hubble Telescope of countless galaxies billions of light-years away.
