My friend... I read this yesterday, and thought, and thought, and then decided to keep my thought within.... because your own love of languages equates itself, and allows all of them to be heard... so I'm not going to critique, ... heh... unless you ask. You indeed are kissed by eternity.... and all of its bliss.  |

Thank you, dear Ida, for your visit and for inhaling eternity with me ... we breathe the same air and we know it.  Thank you, dear Jerry, for loving this and yes ... the pictures of our Universe (Omniverse ... ) are indeed mind-boggling. Thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope we see more and more into the depth of Cosmos. Awestruck we wonder ... ... celestial wonderland ... a playground for all souls I love what you say in your comment, dear Ebonygirl. That's true! Thank you! Thank you, dear Karen, for enjoying this! Dear Marsha, thank you so much for your appreciation. Dear Karilea, thank you so much for your loving comment and for thinking, thinking and thinking ... Oh yes, I ask you to express your thoughts, you make me wonder. My thoughts were born in my mother tongue and I like it when this happens, so I shared the original and I hope I rendered it justice in English, despite the limits of a 5-7-5 syllable pattern.Dear Karen/Startime, thank you for enjoying this and for using the word "stunning" ... indeed a gaze into the vastness of cosmos causes us to be "stunned" .Love and light to all. Margherita |

Ah, Margherita you are so lovingly intelligent. All the individual stars you see are in the Milky Way galaxy. Until the 1920’s, that seemed to be the only galaxy. You probably know, though, that observations with larger telescopes have since proved otherwise. Our universe contains at least 50,000,000,000 galaxies. We do not mean 50 billion stars—but at least 50 billion galaxies, each with billions of stars like our sun. Yet it was not the staggering quantity of huge galaxies that shook scientific beliefs in the 1920’s. It was that they are all in motion. Astronomers discovered a remarkable fact: When galactic light was passed through a prism, the light waves were seen to be stretched, indicating motion away from us at great speed. The more distant a galaxy, the faster it appeared to be receding. That points to an expanding universe! Even if we are neither professional astronomers nor amateurs, we can see that an expanding universe would have profound implications about our past—and perhaps our personal future too. Something must have started the process—a force powerful enough to overcome the immense gravity of the entire universe. You have good reason to ask, ‘What could be the source of such dynamic energy?’ Although most scientists trace the universe back to a very small, dense beginning (a singularity), we cannot avoid this key issue: “If at some point in the past, the Universe was once close to a singular state of infinitely small size and infinite density, we have to ask what was there before and what was outside the Universe. . . . We have to face the problem of a Beginning.”—Sir Bernard Lovell. This implies more than just a source of vast energy. Foresight and intelligence are also needed because the rate of expansion seems very finely tuned. “If the Universe had expanded one million millionth part faster,” said Lovell, “then all the material in the Universe would have dispersed by now. . . . And if it had been a million millionth part slower, then gravitational forces would have caused the Universe to collapse within the first thousand million years or so of its existence. Again, there would have been no long-lived stars and no life.” Thank you for writing this. Eric true love never looks after it's own interests |

Wow, dear Eric, THANK you for this special comment, that made my day. Yes, it is all so overwhelmingly amazing ... I really enjoyed reading you and finding that you are so well acquainted and updated on our Universe. I often think that if I will be given the chance to live again (who knows for sure?), I will embark on being an astrophysicist. All countries should unite in scientific research to allow further knowledge. Just like Ray Radbury said, the exploring of Mars (i.e.) would be an antidote to war......Dear Bruce, Universalist, thank you so much for appreciating this too. Love, Margherita |

Wonderful, my friend, Although I don't know about their method, per one responders comments, of determinings 50 billion galaxies ... kind of like the methods used to say how many people like this or that in election "polls".... Parden me if I think the math is off. j. |
