Each dot is an entire galaxy containing billions of stars. For more than a decade, astronomers have puzzled over strangely bright galaxies in the distant Universe. These ‘luminous infrared galaxies’ appear to be creating stars at such phenomenal rates that they defy conventional theories of galaxy formation. ESA’s Herschel infrared space observatory, with its ability for very sensitive mapping over wide areas, has seen thousands of these galaxies and pinpointed their locations, showing for the first time that they are packing themselves closely together, forming large clusters of galaxies by the force of their mutual gravity.

It's so lovely..... “Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.” Dr. Carl Sagan quotes (American Astronomer, Writer and Scientist, 1934-1996)

thats why its so very spiritually and mentally infantile to think that this rock is the only one with action on it.....haven't even discovered whats in THIS world, yet somehow know what exists in the universe. extreme craziness that crossed the line of arrogance into insanity long long ago.
