Reminds me of Carl Sagan who famously described the infinity of space. Well, now we can see it.
You can see galaxies swirling around a black hole, emitting the energy of 40 billion suns.

You can see what looks like a mountain range, but it’s actually cosmic dust driven through space by the energy of a new star being formed.
Those rings are pulsing energy from a dying star.
You're looking back 4 billion years: the vastness of space is humbling.
You see these images, and you wonder: are we humans unique? Are we alone?
I think it’s worth spending $10 billion to find out...
