    There's a theory that inside every black hole is a new universe and it goes on and on like that

    It's ridiculous to think that each dot in that image (look at the high res one) is a whole galaxy full of billions of stars.

    What's the big blue line in the middle?

    And those green gas things - are they just big blobs of gas clouds?

    i thought there was a fair 20% of the universe that wasn't observable from earth because the milky way obstructs the view
