Bizarre space circle captured in unprecedented detail
There's something about this image that almost brings tears to my eyes. It's so big. 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.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.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.
