IMO its the deep field one (third one down) that although not visually stunning is a reminder that we are so insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

(did you just see the documentary on Nat Geo then?)

the whole idea of space ****s with my head, just trying to gage what it is etc

Funnily enough, no.

Here's an awesome YouTube thread on the Deep Space Field.

Close second would be the Egg nebula, same colour as my car

i find it funny that people think we are alone in the universe when we are merely a speck of sand on a very long beach

Loz · 12-10-2008, 18:40

Alone in our universe, yes - probably not alone in space no, but we are sufficiently alone that no one will ever be able to reach another planet that sustains life and equally, other life will ever reach us.

bengie · 12-10-2008, 19:00

and how on earth can you tell that?

no one can tell that.

quote scientists all you want but on extra terrestrial life they don't know **** and always make the assumptions about what is/isn't possible on us.

Given some of the enviroments on earth that do sustain life I would guess that life most certainly exists beyond earth. Be that species an advance or retarded to us, it doesn't really matter, they haven't decided to find us or be found by us either

exactly, if life can survive at the very bottom of the deepest ocean or at the top of the highest mountain let alone the very hottest or coldest place, all of these places a human can't survive then why not on another planet?

Interestingly if they find evidence of previous life, however basic, on Mars
then I'd say the odds are that it's teeming with life out there.
Chances are if there is a species that has reached a level of technological
sophistication, without destroying itself, to cross vast distances of space,
would they be likely to want to meet us.
