The Nabe


Here's our local neighborhood.  Interesting to note the scarcity of close-by stars - that, despite pictures like the one below, space is vast, and mostly empty. This picture is on a scale beyond our comprehension, and yet, in the scheme of things, it's a tiny little corner of a tiny little portion of an average sized galaxy in a universe of hundreds of billions of galaxies. Again, perspective.
