I absolutely did play with the hi res version. Fascinating, too. Amazing how different it all looks in different wavelengths (even accounting for the false-color trickery NASA plays with the images). My imagination was running wild, thank you!

Thanks for all your links too. I guess the Milky Way wouldn’t look like much without their colorizations. I have often wondered why we can’t see the big glowing ball center of the galaxy somewhere in the night sky. My understanding is that the Milky Way we see is just an arm. It is pretty impressive though if you’re far enough from city lights.
Nice picture thanks. I like your “worm hole” idea and think there may be something to it. Clearly our understanding of how the univerce works is very limited.
Thank you. I have a feeling that what there is to learn and what can be learned are unlimited. That’s a big playground out there.
If life is to be found, it is here, though even then, rare.
From 6/2?
WTH?
When I search Titles for 'black holes,' I get two hits, this thread and one called "Black holes not black after all." But when I search Keywords, I get a lot more hits.
It might also affect the search if you look for 'black hole,' singular, instead of the plural.
Only in my mind, which their abundance of so many other black holes must share.
That's sad.
