I don't even think insignificant covers it<g>. One of the things I often look at is the Hubble Deep field, which is the last referenced object in that display: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:HubbleDeepField.800px.jpg To wrap your head around that takes some doing, as this is the patch of Sky it represents: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hubble_Deep_Field_location.gif and here's a nice diagram of how far that reaches back: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b4/Hubble_Ultra_Deep_Field_d iagram.jpg And looking at that, you then see that there is a an ultra deep field shot, which reaches even further: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hubble_ultra_deep_field_high_rez_edit1.jpg Each pinpoint in the background representing a super cluster (groups of groups of galaxies). Insignificant doesn't even begin to cover it. I don't think there is a word that does.
