You're right that is pretty cool. Space is big.

The number you are looking for is 49.

Amazing. And to think our solar system is just a speck within a speck on that scale. We've got a lot of work to do

Yea there's about 100 thousand galaxies in that cluster alone, so maybe elite 2030 might be able to generate something that big including a lot of alien races which surely exist out there...somewhere.

dont you mean 42, Kilkiss ?

I love the patterns that micro and macro sciences seem to follow.

So many of those pictures could be microscopic in terms of the medium they are looking at, I think the "Galaxy is on Orion's Belt" has never been more apt
