When I was growing up in the 90's, star formations such as Orion's belt were easily visible even in the brightest of area's. Now I look up to the stars and see nothing. My only wish is that an extra terrestrial species has taken notice of our planet and of us, and they record in their history books that we were a species that tried..
If I had to guess, it's the fact that light pollution has become so horrible. I live in the suburbs of Houston and on the best of nights, I can only see a hand full of stars. I did a camping trip to far west Texas a few years ago and the stars are still there.😄
@Margaux666 I know this is 2 years later but still, your basically looking into the past! Think of it as a time machine. The light you see from some of those stars are older than the dinosaurs! It's awesome.
@6471917 We need not worry about the apaprent light speed - speed limit, we (I suspect) will be able to use space/time's ability to bend to our advantage, it seems far fetched but the theory is there. I suspect.
I wonder, if we study how stars are created... Would we be able create our own mini star here on earth? I mean, it could be as a battery that last an eternity. We would never have to recharge batteries again XD. It would also solve gas problems.....
Interesting thought : Was Carl Sagan attempting to deliver a message to mankind ? All the time & $ spent ( by whom?) to script / video / deliver to the podium all these "Sagan excerpts" on his philosophy of humanities place in the Cosmos ... what an impact he made ! Thank you, Dr. Sagan !
@Margaux666 Technically.... We can only see about 2.5-million light years away with the naked eye, the rest is so far away that it appears 'dim' so that we can't see it.... But yea, i know what you mean. I'll just scurry off now...
- Hmm! I would say to see the future you wouldn't look in front of your eye...which only shows us the past. I would say we look behind our eye where our brain is to imagine the future. Ya think? 😉
Agreed. The universe may be far bigger than the observable universe, but not infinitely big. If it was, it would crowd out all the other universes that with ours help make the multitude number of universes we call the multi-verse. 😉
How can you just say this as if it is simple. Say you got to the edge of the so called "finite Universe" what stops you from continuing to move forward?
The vastness and beauty of the cosmos, yet Scripture’s account of God’s amazing act of creation simply says “He made the stars also”. Jesus is the awesome Creator!
Its neat to use both science and scripture to truly understand what happened. To learn how and when earth was made you go to the sciences. To learn who made it and why you go to the scriptures. Only with both science and scripture in perfect harmony can one truly have a complete and wholesome understanding of reality. Dr Carl Sagan was true in everything he taught us in Cosmos (including organic evolution) with only one exception...he was wrong in saying it all happened by accident. Back in the 1860s the Protestant Creationists misinterpreted natural selection to mean accidental selection. And that's what started the controversy between science and religion on organic evolution. And there are thousands of times more protestants than there are scientists to influence society (beside the fact that scientists use a lot of scientific jargon which makes creationism easier to be understood by the more populous simple-minded. And that just magnified the problem of understanding to truth of the real theory of organic evolution...which turn it into an impossible process to the populous. Who really understands the real theory of organic evolution over the popular misconception of the theory ??? 🤔
Just because something is popular doesn’t necessarily make it a fact. Humans are always looking for a prize, maybe when you die that’s it, lights out, no heaven or hell; but of course you will quote endless bible scriptures. I say like Sagan did, treat each other with respect not for the sake of making a god happy but because it’s the right thing to do.
To the ultimate outer reaches of the eternities we find there are in infinite number of generations of gods and an endless number of generations of universes !!! 😇
I actually took a picture of the Orion nebubla in my astrophotography class. I have it right now, pretty sweet
Home sweet home😇😉❤
We are SO small....it is amazing I love the night you can see into eternity

Stars still there in massive numbers just need the right conditions
I am always drawn to orion

to have spent so much time looking up, I can't believe Carl Sagan never saw his own halo.
Nice🧡

That four star group is the Trapezium which The Hubble telescope observed planets forming. Maybe our next home is only 1500 light years away
It still sucks that we messed earth up so bad that we have to leave it to heal .
- The Hubble pictures you're talking about isn't individual planets, but each will become a solar system...creation in action !!! WOW !!!

@JayDee98765 Within.
Orion nebula was upside down relative to the Orion constellation. Whoops!

lol "god did it" must be your brilliant explanation

the same goes with time!
@salasvalor01 Spot on!
@SuperHaloStarwarsFan That could be said both ways..
Anywhere we are... we simply look 'up', to look into the past... so where do we look to see the future? :)
Imagination + determination.

@GaryYates-pi9gy man I wrote that shit 13 years ago, I don't even know what I meant 😂

@jhmoonman Like Carl Sagan in general...
@WOWJBEOWULF We're pretty sure the universe is finite - huge, but not infinite.
Agreed. The universe may be far bigger than the observable universe, but not infinitely big. If it was, it would crowd out all the other universes that with ours help make the multitude number of universes we call the multi-verse.

God would then say what took you so long...
