The Hubble Space Telescope continues to bring back utterly beautiful images from the farthest reaches of outer space. These awe-inspiring photos take us to the deepest points of our Universe. Additionally, these breathtaking images not only transport us back in time, they serve to take us home as well.

Humanity, not to mention our planet, owes it very existence to the events unfolding before the deep-peering eye of Hubble. Our birth place is tucked in and amongst these amazing displays of Mother Nature at her most violently destructive and astonishingly creative. Her magnificence a balance between her incredible beauty and jaw-dropping brutality.

That the human body is an amalgam of exploding star remnants and swirling cosmic dust (over eons of time), seems to escape us in our daily lives and travels. Whether our beginnings were sparked by Divinity or gravity, when we look to the heavens, we do in fact look homeward.

Thanks to NASA for the photo

I’ve often believed that the alluring depth and darkness of space reminds each of us of the vastness within ourselves while the scattered pinpoints of starlight evoke our tiny, miniscule foothold within that immensity. Surveying the nighttime skies is an exercise of Human recognition and reflection. We thrive when we remember who we are!

Truly, Hubble Space Telescope could very be called the Hubble Sapien Microscope.
