Thanks Jim... Excellent links. I also love that shot of the earth that NASA has - there are two of them. One is the Earth as a single blue Pixel in Saturn's rings, the other one was taken by voyager from the edge of the solar system. Again Earth is just tiny. Space is way huger than I can imagine. Wow... just think what must be out there! :) cheers Darryl -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Dettman Sent: Wednesday, 16 May 2012 1:07 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Stunning... 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.

Indeed it is. Makes one feel rather insignificant in the scheme of things. John W.
