I laughed out loud at "simulated view"

The largest known black hole has more mass than some galaxies and its event horizon is 100 times larger than the distance between the sun and pluto.

As far as our understanding currently allows us to calculate this, the centre of a black hole is the coldest place in the universe.

Our solar system isn't stationary, it's traveling around the Milky Way at 200 kilometers per second, or 490,000 miles per hour. Even at this rapid speed, the solar system would take about 230 million years to travel all the way around the Milky Way. The Milky Way, too, moves in space relative to other galaxies.

I wonder if there’s life in the Large Magellanic Cloud that can see this and appreciate it

I am at the beach right now. The thought of this is forcing me to order one more drink.

The idea that space is a cold void, so spaceships would be cold is wrong. Spaceships should have a massive problem with overheating, as in deep space, there's virtually nothing to transfer the heat to, so it can't be pissed away.

"nobody can hear you scream in space!"

Any close by supernova would blow most people's minds away

almost every space theme movie or tv show is wrong about noise.

the entire ship could explode and there's no sound... the moon could split in half and no sound.

There’s also a ton of dust in the Way, which prevents us from seeing the centre without specialised equipment and a lot of data processing. From outside the galaxy, the view isn’t as hindered by space dust.

The comet that made me fall in love with astronomy.

My friends and I ran an event monthly in NYC when this comet went by. Before the event started we stood outside the venue and chanted, “Hail, bop!” Over and over for a couple minutes.

I remember being 7 at the time and I'd wake up super early every day for months to stare it.

If we were to go to the moon… would we see Andromeda more clearly from there?

I remember Carl Sagan’s Contact had a segment of what it’s like living on a planet in the Large Magellanic Cloud and witnessing a galaxy rising.

The Milky Way is perfectly visible in extreme darkness like the desert or somewhere very rural on a clear night. It's absolutely possible for a neighboring entity to have a view like this if they could position themselves front and center of our galaxy, but far enough away to see it all. The light our galaxy emits with its 100 billion stars all clustered together in this beautiful formation is more than enough.
