APOD: 2022 March 16 - The Observable Universe

Good morning, Rallypoint, and welcome to the March 16th Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD): "The Observable Universe." Our senses - sight, smell, taste, hearing, touch - all help us to observe an object of our attention. What if our senses allowed us to receive input from all ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum (not just visible light)? Our universe might resemble today's APOD. Here we see the Earth and Sun at the center surrounded by our Solar System, nearby stars, nearby galaxies, distant galaxies, filaments of early matter, and the cosmic microwave background. A lifetime of adventures on a single page.
