.If you could travel to just one place in the Universe
[Note: extra post 'cuz Google will not let me post a reply to an
original, to extra groups] On Oct 21, 4:42 am, Trevor wrote: If it was possible for you to go anywhere in the universe outside of Earth, where would you most like to go and please say why, for anywhere named. That is almost a cruel question: if you had to choose just ONE place, knowing there are virtually an infinite number of awesome sites in the Universe. It sure would be nice to get some travel brochures, first, with up close photos and info. By default, I would start with the furthest known galaxy, then narrow it down from there. At a recent astronomy club meeting, I saw a photo from Hubble - probably the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The lecturer mentionened it was taken by Hubble staring at a "blank' spot in the celestial sphere, for 400 (working) days consequetively. There were, literally, ten thousand objects in the photo. Only FIVE were stars, which were in our own galaxy. The rest were distant galaxies! Main reason for this astounding cosmos: It is quite obviously that God is saying, ":Look at this. I created this for my glory! It is giving you a hint of my glory." But second thing I take from this: well, with just one place to visit, I might well choose one of those galaxies.

Correct, although imported asteroids or planetoids and proto-moons from Sirius B might also be the case. For all we know the seemingly newish planet Venus and even its original moon Selene came from Sirius B. |

I'd go to Europa, and find out why Arthur C. Clarke did not want us to land there. |
