for me, zooming in was more interesting. zooming out, once you hit space, you quickly lose all perspective...

[jules]

insane

[Caretstik]

Fascinating.

[Guest Rambo]

Love this kind of thing and this is done really well. We are both tiny and unimaginably massive, just depends what the perspective is.

as a very non-science person, I am fascinated with these theoretical outer limits of the universe and parts of the universe that cannot be defined. i wish i knew physics.

[cruising for burgers]

[Braintree]

I love astronomy. I almost regret not going into astrophysics.

The thing that i hate about a lot of physics is how unintuitive it feels when i'm trying to learn about it.

[Guest Sprigg]

Lol @ minecraft world.

is life meaningless thread?

[modey]

I get kinda depressed when I think that humans probably won't be capable of deep space exploration within my lifetime. Looking at those distances just makes it seem totally impossible.
