"Are you small?"

Well take a look at this and you may feel small.

For anyone that has never seen it, this is perhaps one of the most amazing images from outer space I have ever seen. I would have put the image on the page itself instead of linking it, but I don't think it does it justice.

Except for a few "field" stars, every smudge of light you see in this picture is a galaxy. And it is a picture of an incredibly small part of the sky.

If you are interested, go to the Hubble Site and download the larger, higher definition pics. These will really blow your mind.
