Hubble Ultra Deep Field

Hubble Ultra Deep Field Image 2004 - Image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope back in 2004 showing us as far as it's eye can see. Almost every spec of light in the image is a galaxy with billions of stars, some very much like ours.

Has anyone looked at this image before. It is the farthest the Hubble has seen. It was taken back in 2004. The area in where the picture was taken is about the size of a keyhole but within you can see atleast 1000 other galaxies at various evolutionary stages. My questions are, how did this make you feel when you saw it? Do you think there is a possibility that there could be another planet out there just like Earth? What do you think our chances of ever finding one are? I found it humbling to actualy see what is usualy invisible to our naked eyes.

If they are watching it would be nice to get a "Hello" or something. Don't you think? Sad thing is they are so distant by the time we did get a message it would be decades after they actually sent it.

Hi lock head, i always wonder that their will be a planet like earth out their. I also feel if they must be watching us. what this person will do on this condition. cant say but its a mistery for me. I like to see up in the sky watching all the stars and some of them are moveing in a direction.. are they some satelite or plane or something else. enjoy :)

On a clear night you can see satalites orbiting the Earth. Hard to say if anyone has even tried what we have from a far distant galaxy. Our techonologies may be so far apart we may not be able to understand any messages they may have sent.

Yeah, I saw this in 2004 and I downloaded it on 56k modem lol (took an incredible amount of time to download). It just makes my head explode when I think how large the universe is.... it's really amazing. I cannot see how people can say we are the only life in the universe when you have that amount of galaxies, stars and potential planets. How naive people are!
