Bizarre space circle captured in unprecedented detail
There's something about this image that almost brings tears to my eyes. It's so <i>big</i>. It's an order of magnitude larger than our ("our") Milky Way. And that little smear to the bottom-left? A whole galaxy with uncountable stars, but also just a few pixels.<p>Do we humans represent something greater? Are we just a smear of pixels, a  trivialising of some incomprehensibly large object? Are we really just this small? Are we a galaxy to some other being in some microscopic dimension, imaged with technology of a totally alien nature? Maybe these aren't logical questions.<p>I mean, there are plenty of photos like this, where you can just barely begin to appreciate the scale of the visible universe, but yeah, this one just got me today.
