Beyond01 09/15/18 3:33:29 AM #1:	If youre at all like me and anything about space interests you then its cool to spot satellites floating through space in the sky with your own eyes. At night if you spot a star that is different colors (not white) its probably a satellite it will be slowly moving across the sky. Just saying, I thought it is cool I didnt know this until recently. --- Here we go <cite>Beyond01 posted [p:908790038] in spotting s...

I4NRulez 09/15/18 3:39:46 AM #5:	Recently i went out to the desert and its scary and beautiful at the same time to be in total silence and how the sky looks when youre outside of the city. You hear stories about it but its surreal when you're in it --- The night brims with defiled scum,and is permeated by their rotten stench. Just think. Now you're all set to hunt and kill to your heart's content. <cite>I4NRulez posted [p:908790154] in spotting s...

Beyond01 09/15/18 3:52:53 AM #7:	I used to think the stars in the sky represented the universe. But its basically like looking out to your next door neighbors vs the whole world. The universe is so big that if you were to leave the Milky Way there would be no stars anymore. Youd be in pitch black nothingness. And youd be in pitch black nothingness for a LONG ass time until you got to the next Galaxy. To put it into perspective our nearest galaxy neighbor is close to us but it STILL looks like little star to us. And other galaxies are much MUCH farther away from us. --- Here we go <cite>Beyond01 posted [p:908790402] in spotting s...

DoctorVader 09/15/18 4:03:30 AM #10:	You won't be in pitch blackness if you left the galaxy as you'll see the galaxy you left behind, all the satellite galaxies and Andromeda. There are several different galaxies that orbit the Milky Way before you reach the 2.5 million light year void between us and Andromeda. --- It all just disappears, doesn't it?

There are several different galaxies that orbit the Milky Way before you reach the 2.5 million light year void between us and Andromeda. What is the 2.5 million light year void?

The distance between Milky Way and Andromeda is 2.5 million light years. There's nothing in between aside from the satellite galaxies and intergalactic stars near the edges. It wouldn't look any different because the dots we see as stars will be replaced by the hundreds of billions of galaxies. --- It all just disappears, doesn't it?

Too far to be seen as stars. There's 50k galaxies in our supercluster. Out in space you'll be easily able to see them. You can see Andromeda with your naked eye and that's with our atmosphere and it being one of the largest objects in the sky compared to regular stars. --- It all just disappears, doesn't it?
