Hubble's Most Mind Expanding Photos of the Universe. The just-turned-21 Hubble Space Telescope has spent its entire life taking photographs of such enormous, otherworldly things that words stop working. And the events in its photographs happened so long ago, notions of time stop working too. But don’t speak, and forget about the time. Here, in no particular order, are nine pretty big reminders that you are tiny, insignificant, and yet part of an awesome network of particles and forces that we’re only beginning to understand. Good thing we’ve had you Hubble, to help us think about this—and, of course, spruce up our computer desktop backgrounds. 1 — The Red Spider Nebula The powerful stellar winds of this nebula, located in the constellation of Sagittarius, generate waves 100 billion kilometers high.
