The BBC reported today on the recent imagery the Hubble Space Telescope returned to curious humans on planet Earth. The pictures indicate six new galaxies of stars, along with the tantalizing possibility of a seventh on the edge of the universe.
Six new galaxies! It's not as if these collections of stars simply ran away and hid. Yet, it remains difficult in our jaded age to envision the achievement that a collection of scientists and engineers has identified. We can now take a primitive look at the outer reaches of what can be understood. We're not quite so certain what we're learning from these extraterrestrial visits, except that we're probably not alone in the realm of outer space.
