Ask a Mathematician / Ask a Physicist helped. I was thinking about a single star, but of course there’s an infinite number, all with different lifespans and distances, so we only look at the ones within our observable window, not the ones we have missed.

Space Christmas pressies 🤩🎉

Now that’s a whacky orbit. Had no idea you can orbit like that! Amazing!

Switch it from ‘English’ to metric 😁

Gammerz unfortunately I’ve a big hill behind me and couldn’t see them 😭

      Jogort I thought you meant James Webb telescope!😂
      Couldn’t climb the hill (too far away) for a good view?

        Jogort Wow, for me it came up with my fav photo! What are the chances of that?

        Hubble Deep Field, this image captures several hundred galaxies that had never been seen before. Some galaxies are near and some are very far. Their various shapes and colors provide clues about the evolution of the universe.

        I remember first seeing this photo. It’s only when you zoomed in that you saw that the numerous stars were actually galaxies. It was one of those OMG moments, when my tiny brain tries to realise how massive the universe is. It’s like the other OMG moment, when I looked at stars and realised they’re suns.

          I got a puppy!

          Star RS Puppis
          The bright star RS Puppis is swaddled in a cocoon of reflective dust illuminated by the glittering star. The star is 10 times more massive than our Sun and is 200 times larger.
