Scientists reveal 4.4M galaxies in a new map

For over a decade I've been holding my breath believing that our computational power would eventually cross the line on the graph where the likelihood of identifying life on other planets (even with a conservative expectation that it exists)—due to the amount of data processed—would be extremely high. I figured a discovery like that would be unifying and humbling, but that we would miss the message because we (global we) imploded into some irony fueled blackhole by destroying ourselves.

Reminds of Carl Sagan’s, “Pale Blue Dot”
