The Hubble Ultra Deep Field
I think this represents what equates to a portion of the sky the size of a pinhead !!!
Each speck in this picture is a galaxy....each galaxy has about 100-300 BILLION Stars !!..and there's something like 100-300 BILLION Galaxies out there !!
<Mod Edit - picture removed as it's duplicated above and was causing slow loading for some people - Please see the Hubble Ultra Deep Field picture above>
Do you get it ?...can you even imagine such a thing ?...can you even fathom it ?
BEYOND COMPREHENSION !!
Do you mean a pinhead held at arms length, why not quote degrees or radians?

Yes, I am an astronomer!What are you into these days?
Yes, from our Solar System.The vast majority of meteorites are fragments of shattered asteroids.A small number of meteorites are pieces of rock from the surfaces of other planets.Meteorites might also come from comets.How do asteroids/comets form?

This has to be my all time favourite photo from Hubble. The so-called Pillars Of Creation where stars are being formed.what are those red-like clouds??

Wow!! awesome post dude!!! it takes ones breath away!!!
it makes one feel tiny and humble... it seems we are not even a tiny speck of dust!!!!

Meteorites are classified into three basic categories: irons, stones, and stony irons. Iron meteorites, or “irons”, are actually a combination of iron, nickel, and cobalt. Iron is the predominant metal, with 5% up to 50% nickel, and a trace of cobalt.
Stone meteorites, also called “stony meteorites” or stones,are mostly believed to be material from the crust and mantle of asteroids. A few stony meteorites are thought to be from comets. Stone meteorites contain approximately 75% to 90% silicate materials, such as olivine and pyroxene.
Stony–iron meteorites, or stony–irons, are mixtures of silicates and iron–nickel in roughly equal proportions(stony-irons are rare).
In the Heart of the Tarantula Nebula
Credit: ESA, NASA, ESO, & Danny LaCrue
In the heart of monstrous Tarantula Nebula lies huge bubbles of energetic gas, long filaments of dark dust, and unusually massive stars. In the center of this heart, is a knot of stars so dense that it was once thought to be a single star. This star cluster, labeled as R136 or NGC 2070, is visible just above the center of the above image and home to a great number of hot young stars. The energetic light from these stars continually ionizes nebula gas, while their energetic particle wind blows bubbles and defines intricate filaments. The above representative-color picture of this great LMC nebula details its tumultuous center. The Tarantula Nebula, also known as the 30 Doradus nebula, is one of the largest star-formation regions known, and has been creating unusually strong episodes of star formation every few million years.
If you're in the UK, I'd recommend the Natural History Museum, or a local university.Meteorites are classified into three basic categories: irons, stones, and stony irons.

How do they determine what planet a meteor came from, if that's the case?
Also, who would one contact if they had a meteor specimen they'd like to have examined/analyzed?
I fixed it for ya

Got any spacey, physiccy pictures you would like to share?
well here is the place.

nebula NGC 3603. This stellar "jewel box" is one of the most massive young star clusters in the Milky Way Galaxy. NGC 3603 is a prominent star-forming region in the Carina spiral arm of the Milky Way, about 20,000 light-years away. This latest image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope shows a young star cluster surrounded by a vast region of dust and gas. The image reveals stages in the life cycle of stars

Can you identify the chemicals displayed?
Could this halo be the missing 'dark matter' that explains galaxy rotation issue?The article states that the estimated mass of this halo is 1/2 the total mass of the stars in Andromeda. To account for the galaxy rotation curves, it would need to be a few times the total mass of the stars.
