The universe in which we exist is unimagineably immense and we only know of a very small portion of it. That “small” portion however is massive all by itself and you can get a real feel for just how massive it is by watching this awesome video that was posted by the Los Angeles Times which shows us a 3D map of the known universe.
It’s incredible to see how all of this data comes together and it’s interesting to see the size, scale and shape of what we know is out there. The video is just over 17 minutes long and features lots of cool animations, some of which show portions of the universe that we barely know about. The map covers about 120 million light-years of space and time and features narration by Helene Courtois of the University of Lyon in France.

The observable universe…do we lack the technology to see past the 14/15 billion light year mark or is space simply void of any previous light past this point? Thank you.
