The Hubble Ultra-Deep Field (click image for larger, unbelievable image) is a picture taken from a section of outer space in the Fornax constellation; it is the deepest look into outer space with visible light. It was taken over a period of 4 months, contains over 10,000 galaxies, and looks back in time nearly 13 billion years.
If you ask me, Scully and Mulder have a lot of ground to cover.
Maybe it's just the kid in me that gets giddy at the wonders and span of our infinite universe, but reminding myself of high school astronomy with things like this (and remembering the discovery of them) brings me back to a day where I didn't have to live off Top Ramen and Nyquil.
