So that's sort of the part, and let me move on then and show you the hulbbe Ultra Deep Field. If you look at this pcirute, what you will see is a lot of dark with some light objects in it. And everything but — four of these light ojetcbs are stars, and you can see them there — little pluses. This is a star, this is a star, everything else is a galaxy, OK? So there's a couple of thousand galaxies you can see easily with your eye in here. And when I look out at particularly this gaxlay, which looks a lot like ours, I wonder if there's an art design college conference going on, and intelligent beings there are thinking about, you know, what designs they might do, and there might be a few cosmologists trying to uetdsnnard where the universe itself came from, and there might even be some in that galaxy looking at ours trying to firuge out what's going on over here.

And everything but — four of these light objects are stars, and you can see them there — little pluses. This is a star, this is a star, everything else is a galaxy, OK? So there's a couple of thousand galaxies you can see easily with your eye in here.
