Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

... in a really low resolution jpeg.

[–]themonkeygrinder 5 points6 points ago

This is so damn old!

[–]liarandathief 2 points3 points ago

It wasn't even a particularly interesting bit of sky.

[–]Lampmonster1 3 points4 points ago

Didn't they specifically pick it because it was thought to be more or less empty?

[–]tamwow19 1 point2 points ago

There was no visible light emitting from it.

[–]9212 1 point2 points ago

It this is the Deep Field photo, it wasn't that it was empty so much as 'dark.'

[–]snowgeek 3 points4 points ago

ENHANCE!

"It took ten years of Hubble Space Telescope photographs to make it, and it's the most detailed, deepest picture of the Universe ever taken, showing some the oldest galaxies ever observed by humans, 13.2 billion years back in time."

Picture was released by NASA: http://gizmodo.com/5946298/nasa-publishes-the-most-detailed-image-of-the-universe-ever-captured

It reminds me of a child's pajamas.

Pretty sure my brother has a pattern really close to this, actually.

In low res, awww yiiss

[–]HungryTaco 0 points1 point ago

It almost looks kind of fake... my mind just can't comprehend the immense scale of what I'm seeing in this picture.

[–]Fuzzybutt738 0 points1 point ago

It's so detailed, it's not even loading!

[–]hellokitty -3 points-2 points ago

that just doesn't make sense. You're trying to tell me that each one of those spirals is a galaxy, each of those containing solar systems, each of those containing planets?

yeah, right.

[–]drunk_irish_guy 2 points3 points ago

That is right to an extent. Each spiral contains billions of solar systems. In this picture are a couple million galaxies.

[–]9212 1 point2 points ago

If this picture is the Deep Field pic, this view is approximately the same relative size as a grain of sand held at arms length.

[–]zeiroe 0 points1 point ago

pic or it didn't happen
