I can’t believe how quickly this group is growing, it’s only been a little over 2 weeks since this community was created so we could share awe-inspiring photos of the cosmos and we are already well over one thousand subscribers.

To continue to attract new people so that this community will really take off, we need to continue to have user engagement. So, if there are any ideas that you would like to see implemented here, or new ideas for the community, please let me know. Perhaps you would like to see more general space discussions, instead of solely sharing of images (there are not many space communities, so that could be a possibility)? Or maybe you hate the name and want to see it changed to something different from it’s Reddit counterpart and have a great suggestion?

Don’t be afraid to share your suggestions, I want this community to be active and reflect what the user’s want it to be.

    I’ll never forget the early James Webb images of how large the galaxy is, a frightening and humbling experience

      Webb has certainly taken some stunning images and I can’t wait to see what else it will allow.

      I used to drool over the images from Hubble’s ultra-deep field. Seeing an image with countless small specs knowing each one is a different galaxy and knowing that the entire image is contained in an area of the sky the size of a dime held at arm’s length really puts into perspective how tiny we all are.
