This is an awesome video explaining what happened when professional astronomers pointed the Hubble Space Telescope at what they thought was absolutely nothing and left it there searching - first for 10 days, and then for 11 days.
What they found was mind blowing, especially for many scientists who often tend to believe they have everything figured out.
What we are looking at here are thousands of galaxies that we never knew existed - this view is the most distant place in our universe that we have ever seen in the entire history of humanity.
And, by the way, 13 billion light years away is equal to about 880,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (880 sextillion) miles.
And here's the link in case anyone has problems viewing the embedded video.
