When you think of Outer Space

[Methuselah 291]

I think of the unimaginable size of it and wonder how big it is, specifically in relation to the observable universe. I'm of the mind that the universe can't be infinite, that it must end somewhere. And then I wonder what it looks like at the very edge of the universe.

The Bible says it was in 6 days  (and that he rested on the 7th, hence the sabbath).

ah yes, I remembered it wrong xD

still it's really amazing how everything was created in just 6 days

I just wonder if it’s actually really really big, or if we are just really really small.

I think and dream of retrofuture beyond the stars, far away from this world ♡

Like, Star Wars and Mass Effect, but real

[Cagey 4,248]

I think of how easy it would be to get lost and drift forever in an expense of emptiness. Space is cool but scary. 

[Oblivion 20,267]

If you think about it hard enough you actually freak out! I've actually had panic attacks just thinking about how truly insignificant we truly are in the grand scope of the universe, the fact that in comparison to the massive size of the universe we are but a quirk (smallest form of matter).

What comes to mind when you think of Outer Space?

How infinitely small we are compared to the cosmos.

[Oblivion 20,267]

I literally cry sometimes just from all the thoughts if the unknown! I mean think about the possibilities! I have literally almost made myself pass out before just trying to get my mind to comprehend it all! 

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

Star wars is what I thought. Fascinating space is I am determined in getting our species into outer space is why I am going to devote my neet time to discovering an anti gravitational matter if you have a lot of free time you have no excuse not to.

[Splashee 28,566]

Space makes me cold....

And even then - He could've just done it all in a millisecond, but presumably chose to take His time because symbolism.

Setting an example for the week and all that.

we really do be smaller than a grain of sand

[HeavenSunset 1,867]

I start to think existentially when i think of space

Like how small we are compared to the universe

[Splashee 28,566]

I think about Klingons and Romulus  I watch too much star wars 

[Splashee 28,566]

I think about weird ghostly music and an announcer spouting "outer space!"

[Fritzy 1,691]

It fascinates me to be honest. I mean there’s gotta be life out there right. It’s too vast for it to be completely empty everywhere. 

[Twilight-Sparkle17 230]

Space is so cool. Stars are really cool to look at. The moon is really cool to look at as well.

[I used to be a stranger 7,994]

Planet 7 has the unfortunate fate of a name that is easily interpreted as a one-word pun in English. I wish its name would be changed to Ouranos.

Which is weird. Why do we keep the name Uranus? We badly pronounce a bad German transposition of a English transliteration of a Greek name. A more direct modern English transliteration of the name would be Ouranos (Oo-ran-ohs ).

Now you'd think this isn't a big deal. Who cares?

Well for one thing, the IAU has demonstrated before that they care more about technically good science than they do about popular perception: they were willing to demote Pluto in order to define "planet".

For another, there is a disproportionately smaller number of scientific papers about Uranus than there are about literally every other planet. Some people think that's because of its name. Even the smaller number of papers about Uranus also contain puns and jokes, like probing, and methane coming from it etc.

From a young age, I always loved Space! It's so pretty! 

[Pastel Heart 6,466]

Colonization! Aliens! Future! All the good stuff that I'll never get to see unless i put my brain in a tube or something 

[Ittoni 538]

I don't exactly know. I like to watch the stars at night though. If you think about it, looking at the sky at night you are looking directly into infinite, when the atmosphere is transparent enough for it to show the true endless above. They are so far away and is still the closest things we have. 

I like to see the moon and how round it is. How "3D" it looks. And how small it looks like being so big thinking how far it has to be to look so tiny and still look very clear despite all that. How it can have a shadow like that. 

I think of how we are always moving in one of our galaxy's arm and I think of the massive black hole that is at it's center. How there's so many weird things out there. 

[DubWolf 17,279]

Vast emptiness  . The night sky isn’t a finite ceiling; it’s a window to infinity. Staring wayyyyy out.

Oh, and it theoretically started with a big rapid expansion/explosion/BOOM  ! @ExplosionMare

I like to bring them up when appropriate
