    The final image is η (Eta) Carinae, a pair of massive and extremely volatile variable stars at a distance of 7,500 ly. The larger of the two, η Car A, is thought to be close to the end of its life. The image was taken with WFPC2 before it was replaced by WFPC3.

    @danielkirk1 Your logic fails to compute. The FACT is that the universe is far, far more vast than humans could ever hope to explore and that the huge majority has no relevance to our planet whatsoever. I take it that you are suggesting that a god magically created everything - in which case the god included a massive amount of pointless and useless junk for no reason, OR that the universe cannot have been made solely for us and our little mudball.

    @AnonymousDiv0 On the contrary, It takes some ballsy arrogance to think "it" came from nothing.

    4:29 looks like "Gonzo" using a finger to tell someone to come here!

    That we insignificant apes could live to witness such awesome beauty is truly the most wondrous thing.  Religion could never give us this kind of vision, could never match this sight, and could never encompass these ideas. Religion retards growth, science promotes it. No religion could ever move me to tears like mere images of the vast glory and wonder of space.

    @invadercheeze I've never found the waste of valuable goods on cult indoctrination a beautiful thing in any sense, so I suppose the reality's even more beautiful for me.

    @rrrandommman You've probably figured it out by now, but if you have UT2004 still on your hard drive, browse to the UT2004\Music directory and play "level8"

    2:03 and onward literally had my mouth gaping and my eyes tearing. There is more beauty in those pictures than in every gold-leafed, jewel studded, marble-paved church, temple, synagogue, or mosque on the entire planet.

    @AndromedasWake (love space flight) Is that ambient music played in the background by any chance from Unreal Tournament 2004? I think it is.

    @y1982pisti The fact that we're just 10 seconds old on a cosmic scale makes me also happy that we've actually came this far... where matter has left it's home planet.

    Another example of how unimaginally beautiful our random expanding Universe is... Thank goodness we are in the early stages of the Universe's life... Otherwise these images would be much less impressive.. Ty for uploading AW..

    Personally, I'm at a loss for words......and that doesn't happen very often!!

    We have the word awesome especially for things such as this. Do not abuse the awesome word by using it for things that are just great, or only slightly wonderous!

    And people still fight each other in the name of their gods. Very most of the world is still primitive... :'(
