    You can cross the galaxy in about 12 years while accelerating at a comfortable 1g. Your newtonian mind cannot comprehend this.

      What if my stop is at the other end? I don't want to ride right on by and miss it.

        Good point. You need to turn around and start braking at the halfway point. Stretching the time needed to 22 years and a few months.

    The galaxy isn’t actually that small. It’s just really far away.

      Someday far in the future when the two galaxies start to “collide”, someone is going to come across this tiny piece of meme data and be very confused.

      Would work well with the Magellanic Clouds though. Itty bitty dwarfy-boos!

        I honestly admire your optimism.

        On a related note, the game Satisfactory is a sci fi factory building game set on an alien planet, and there’s a big ass spiral galaxy in the night sky. When I saw it I had to stop for a minute and think about the lore implications. Either this is millions of light years from Earth at least, or billions of years in the future.

        Either way the fact I’m playing an indentured servant practically owned by a mega corporation hell bent on rapaciously expanding their factories throughout space is fucking bleak.

        Now, maybe the artist just put it there because it’s pretty and spacey, but the devs are clearly massive nerds and I would 100% believe that they intended that implication.

      Yeah tbh I couldn’t find a better picture, because as we all know internet search has gone to complete shit. Andromeda is 220 thousand lightyears across, so much bigger than MW, that was what I tried to reference in my title

      Something supermassive hiding in that bulge

      Strong attraction to the central bulge

      the andromedan mind cannot comprehend this

    Aren’t we closer to the edge? I thought we were like 3/4ers the way out from the center bulge?

    Bu-but the picture says 1 million light years across the milky way, which one is it?

    Is there actually just nothing between the edges of The Milky Way and Andromeda? That’s terrifying
