Some of the light has taken over 13 billion years to reach here. Hubble focused on a tiny spot below the Orion Nebula and discovered it to be full of stuff. Or rather, less empty than previously thought. The universe is huge, even bigger than big. So massive is the area between things the place is more empty than full. Extraordinarily empty by all accounts. So empty in fact that what's in it amounts to almost nothing. Lucky for us then that we've a little corner of almost nothing to call our own. Group hug, yay...

Yay, more space for humans to dump more junk.
Welcome back, Dan!
Please stay, don't go.
G,
There's even more space for more space because the whole shebang is expanding. Mind boggling really.
Thanks for the welcome. As for me sticking around, well, let's see. I certainly feel the muse has returned.
