That's pretty cool... And cold.

Now does it sound so stupid when I say taking a spectrograph measurement from our solar system of far distant stars is worthless. Those readings are corrupted by the light scattered by the filter of gazillions of buckeyballs. What if all of the crap we see in deep space was just our perspective how we see those distant galaxies. Which could be a 3D illusion of millions of particles not even on the same z plane. But all of the x and y axis line up forming many of those objects?

Like not to long ago, Scientist thought Pluto was just a featureless icy poof ball of ice and gas. We now know we can't always trust what we see through Hubble and spectrography.
