What would you find, more stars, more planets.

Boring.

But there's always something unique to find around each star and on each planet. Even here on Earth things change constantly. There's always something new to see

I'm a huge /out/ist so my wanderlust is insatiable

>>7503487
Yeah it is disturbing. And humbling. But also empowering. When you think about how on this world we beat the cosmic odds and evolved to sentience and developed technology and now we launch craft into outer space. Of all the millions of random events that coalesced to make our Earth exactly as it is, we are the end result. Very special planet this is.

It tells me that universe is infinite and our capability to make science is infinite, we are literally only 85 years away from laser beaming our consciousness to other star systems.

how do we quantify how far they are from just such visual observations?
the size can be an artifact of perspective
the brightness can be an indicator of size instead of distance
parallax measurements may not be accurate within such a little deviation zone in which we can observe the said parallax
how they relatively move?
i cannot fathom those measurements

I remember getting sad sometimes over the fact that I would never be able to see the whole universe and everything it holds.
Then I found out about space engine and played it, and realized just how boring it actually would be.

I watched a popsci clip on the expansion of the universe (Veritasium); I didn't expect to fully comprehend the topic after watching, but it lead me to some questions and it would be cool if someone could help me out here.

Also if you have some sources explaining expansion of the universe "for beginners, post them.

1. In the clip he stated that the further away a star is, the faster it is moving away, mentioned the Hubble sphere at that point and afterwards pointed out that the Hubble sphere itself is expanding away from us. Am I right in assuming that if I want to calculate how fast the universe is expanding in one point the function of velocity is in the form of v(s(t))=.... ?

2.Does that mean that a chosen point in the universe always expands away from us with the same velocity (I don't mean same velocity as other points, but that it always maintains its expanding velocity)? Since I could also define a "100000 m/s"-sphere, or any other, where the universe expands at that rate and therefore the sphere itself expands at that velocity? That's kind of how I understood it.

Currently it would really help me just to get some answers to those 2 questions, it's very well possible that I totally misunderstood the concept, if so please provide me with some good sources.

[Anonymous No.7505791]

>>7505787
The further away it is, the faster it expands because what is being described is the growth of space itself. As the thing gets farther away, there is more space in which "new" space may appear, thus causing an effective acceleration. This is why the Hubble constant has units of velocity/distance. For good sources, I can't think of any off hand and am too lazy to look some up.
