Seeing these things makes me feel alone and lonely.

Can't wait for the James Webb telescope.
FlaminkoFactor
Not milky enough. 4/10
guitarfourtysix
Maybe it's 2% milk.
Blazefast
It's simply mind boggling to see this, also quit unsettling as to the enormity of it all. ..
Thiccysmols
Hey yall got any aliens?
railgrinder
There's at least 12 stars in there.
RabidDingo
What's the star comparison between Milky Way and Andromeda?
fregeek
Milky Way: 300 billion stars. Andromeda: 1 trillion https://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/earths-night-sky-milky-way-andromeda-merge

This is getting close to the Total Perspective Vortex. It may melt my brain.

I always wondered, if we do develop interstellar travel, will space ever look as colorful as this?

Phew, that put me in that weird thought spiral about humankind, all existence, wtf is life.
JeffreyLeebowski
Ever wonder if the reason we haven't found other life out there, is because there's only 1 intelligent lifeform per galaxy, and we are 1/2
JeffreyLeebowski
Meant to expand? Like this whole milky way is for humanity to explore.
jenzhere99
We are not alone
DickMercenary
Statistically, no. But with the scale of the universe and the whole light speed barrier we might as well be.
PurpleSquirreliswatching
Gonna need at least an eighth chevron for that..

neilwatkinsfromaccounting
This is who we are going to collide with right?
FakePlasticTreehugger
Yes, and the fused Galaxy is creatively being called Milkdromeda.
SmokyDoggg
Yes
fregeek
Correct... I think the prediction is in about 4.5 Billion years.

Somewhere in there is a Dickbutt, I just know it.

I was waiting for it to be a hidden 3d image thingny with dickbutt.

It may even be a species somewhere there. And they are coming here.
SmokyDoggg
We should have a nicer view in the future...
SultanOfAllKitties
Will also be harder to get pictures like this with all the satellites being launched especially starlink.
LateNightBunnyParty
I goddamn love VSauce.
bighuntowski
Andromeda won’t appear any brighter in the sky due to the inverse square law of light.
FakePlasticTreehugger
This is from a VSauce video entitled "What will we miss". One of his best IMO.
DooksandPooks
So I set a reminder in my calendar for this stellar event. Can’t wait to see it!!!
elephantpunch
If they have a way to reconstruct me in 2.75billion years. Send me to this spot and I'll die again looking at that.
SmokyDoggg
(Earth's surface conditions are similar to Venus by now because of the Sun's warming)
elephantpunch
If they reconstructed me from a piece of hair maybe they can give me a Mr freeze suit too. Lol
commentsivehadafew
Amazing that this galaxy has literally hundreds of stars
Monkeyspearfish
Ken M, is that you?

mstrmrvn
Dozens, even!
raguzythemagnificent
At least 3 for sure.
BigTex1
I don’t think so, this picture sucks, it’s super pixelated.
Base841
At least hundreds. Technically true...
halshing
And not a single one has any form of life!
THEcableguy
Yeah, life on a star would be tricky considering it's helium and hydrogen and what not
GrifCreeper
Why can't life have volcanic monsters loving in the molten seas of the Sun?
THEcableguy
There could be life forms out there that eat carbon monoxide and huff helium for all we really know, to be fair.
