I'm far too drunk to comprehend this on any functional level.... Though I understand I'm nothing more than a spec and don't matter....

Don’t forget the massive gravitational force that’s dragging our entire galaxy, that we can’t see because it’s blocked by our own galaxy

ton618 is 10.37 billion light years away. Its crazy it got that massive so fast after the big bang

How come things get all squiggly in the distance/past? uncertainty? showing passage of time? Does matter actually exist in steams like that?

Maybe not related but, always wondered, at which speed an explosion in space happens? Like it is fast as in simulations or way slower?

I enjoy how it labels a point "unreachable". 99.9999999999999% of that map is unreachable. ?
armagetz
Actually, that point is unrechable. It’s this whole ‘nother thing.
brainmydamage
I do understand that it's literally unreachable due to expansion. Wasn't saying it was untrue. What I said is also true.
sirfanciesadrought
What do you mean?
brainmydamage
Due to the expansion of the universe the furthest reaches are moving so fast and are so far that we can literally never reach them.
brainmydamage
At least according to our current understanding of physics. https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/universes-galaxies-unreachable/
sirfanciesadrought
But in the title of the article, it says 94% of the universe is beyond reach. In this image, it's only at the very edge.
exterminans
Uhm.... Since when is the Sun Smaller than Saturn?
exterminans
or is it only the distance? i do not like this picture...
Odincdaj522004
It's a logarithmic map. An "inch" of the picture at the bottom might be 8000 miles, an inch at the top could be 8 million lightyears. 1/
Odincdaj522004
The further from the bottom toward the top of the picture you go, you go further in "real" distance more rapidly. 2/2

just wait till JWST updates this!
InsertNameHereIGuess
It won't change much. We will be able to see just a little further back. The speed of light limits how far back we can see. 1/.
InsertNameHereIGuess
Webb will let us get a way better picture, but we can't see beyond the beginning of the universe, and Hubble has already showed us that. 2/.
InsertNameHereIGuess
Sure there will be new things to learn with way better picture quality, but it won't change much sadly. This OP pic won't change much 3/.
InsertNameHereIGuess
The universe we can see is only about 50 billion lightyears around us. The universe is way bigger but we will never be able to see it. 4/.
InsertNameHereIGuess
The speed of light is fast, but also really slow at galactic scales. Because we see back in time, what we can see is a small part. 5/.

HD1 Galaxy, is so far we seen how it looked like about 13,8 billion years ago, just few hundreds million years after Big Bang itself
PictureArchiver
It was a feisty little galaxy with a big dream: to be the first galaxy in the universe, shining its bright light into the future!

Can somebody help me with what number that one was?

OctaviusClausewitz
that map is 2 years outdated and sadly, overly simplistic, looks neat, but lacks many, HD1 and HD2 were discovered on 7th of april this Year
OctaviusClausewitz
But based on data it would be on the direction of 154 approaching 199, bit to the right but not much, this is galactic scale

There can be one or many more. We might (and probably will) never know about them.
