- Still early days, but looks good.
Over 200K km so far, until the target of 1.5M km will be reached.grafician - incredible, hubble is only 570 km from earth and this is 1.5M km! almost 5x the distance to the moon._niko
- no threat of Russian space debris impacting it there I guess_niko
- I believe the Russia will launch a far-side-of-the-Moon rover mission this yeargrafician
- and China several Moon missions alsografician

Mind Blown
- Interesting how the laws of physics change when we look really really far away, and also really really close (sub atomic particle level).mort_
- they don'tmonospaced
- I mean the differences between classical mechanics and quantum mechanics.mort_
- they might, and i find that interesting.Nairn
- Quantum mechanics denial?mort_
- It might appear they change, but my belief is that we don’t have a full understanding, which is in line with the science.monospaced

Oy yeah. Oh yea, yeah. More, please.

- I was taught that everything revolves around the sun, then one day I learn the sun orbits the milky way. i wonder how they teach this to kids.PioneerDJ303
- Our sun doesn’t exactly orbit the Milky Waymonospaced
- Our sun orbits the Milky Way's galactic barycenter (Sagitarious A*, for all intents and purposes)cannonball1978
- It has made the orbit just over 20 times in it's existence.cannonball1978

can anyone answer this for me:
if the our universe started from a single infinitely small point and is now expanding outward at accelerating speeds, does that mean that the centre of our universe is hollow? Like we're at the edge of a bubble that's been expanding for 13 billion years.
If not, if it's more uniform throughout, does that mean that there is something at the centre continuously creating or ejecting matter? like a reverse black hole?
- Same thing with climate change, why give a shit, the sun is explanding and will literally consume the earth in a mere 12.5b years.shapesalad
- to your comment, what if universes expanding from a single point is just one scale and beyond that are millions and billions of universes in a endless expanse.shapesalad
- and yes, black holes within that, swallowing up universes and spitting them out.shapesalad
- the universe is infinite like time, thus it no center to grow from, but instead grows from its edges like a wildfire that started many billions of years ago.PioneerDJ303
- yeah I'm not sure but when we say universe do we mean our observable universe and everything beyond is the multiverse?
it would help to separate the two I thin_niko - so our observable universe must of had a finite start from the Big Bang and expanded outward as we're observing not to do_niko
- The universe does not "grow from its edges". All the matter that exists now existed back then, just more compressed.cannonball1978
