a bold statement.

the following video is about a realm of outer space that the human eye can come nowhere even remotely close to seeing. in september of 2003, the hubble telescope sat in space and looked at an unrecognizable portion of the universe for over 11 days. it was able to record images that were 78 billion light years away. i don't even underdstand how they can measure that far...unfathomable. in this session in outer space, the hubble telescope recorded "the single most important image taken by humanity." that's the bold statement i was referring to in the title of this post.

this is the image recorded but the hubble telescope but the video is pretty interesting and still worth watching...
















everything in this image that we would imagine to be a star is actually another galaxy.

it got me thinking...what makes an image important? of all the images ever taken by humanity, how can it be determined that this is the most important? can there be a single most important image of all time? i also enjoy the cross-over of science and other non-art-related material and subjects into art...

fat shouts to my homegirl michelle for putting me on this video and emphatically demanding i watch it.
