My mind is still a bit blown from #Euclid telescope images last night.
When I zoomed in on a tiny patch of sky — field of view: 7.1' x 3.6, which is about the size of a grain of rice held at arms length — there was so much to see.
Walls and walls of galaxies. And then more walls of galaxies behind this.
Each galaxy hosts hundreds of billions of stars and there are millions of them, all, in this tiny field of view.
We are tiny tiny creatures.
