from that pic Until the early 20th century the best guess of Astronomers was that the milky way galaxy was the entire universe.We now know that ours is only one of at least a hundred billion galaxies no matter how many times i hear that,i can't help but be amazed i think of Mass Effects star charts when i see that great pic(although absolutely massive) |

Hard to believe that in all that space there are no other forms of intelligent life out there.
All that distance and we still haven't figured out how to get to Mars!

Good find. I especially like the schematic of the solar system's neighborhood.

It's a great big universe, and we're all really puny. We're just tiny little specks, about the size of Mickey Rooney. It's big and black and inky, and we are small and dinky, It's a big universe and we're not!

When I was a kid we had the big National Geographic Atlas that that poster is from (an earlier version, obviously, but essentially the same). Was a big fold out dealie in the front. Used to spend quite a lot of time looking at it-nice to see it again |

When I wake up on an alien spacecraft 50 light years from here, I'm going to be glad that I can point to Sol on a map. Think how much probing that could save me.

How else you going to pay for the ride home? They don't let planet lizards ride for free! |

We know how to get to Mars. The problem is that nobody will pay for it. Edit: And Steven Hawkings says we would be smart to stay as quiet and undiscovered as possible. |
